Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, at the beginning, said it hurts when swallowing, noticed that coughing is quite severe, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What dietary restrictions should be followed for infant and toddler tonsillitis, which is very uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
For tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustments. Encourage children to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are relatively rich in nutrients and can effectively boost their immunity. For fruits, pears and apples are good choices, while for vegetables, options like leafy greens, cabbage, and tomatoes are excellent. You can select based on the child's preferences. For staple foods, opt for softer options such as porridge or noodles to avoid difficulties in swallowing or worsening constipation. Additionally, it is important to minimize the child's intake of irritant foods, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, and seafood, as these may exacerbate symptoms. Finally, help the child develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and food refusal, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
