Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was found that he also has mild coughing, and low fever. Please ask: How to have a reasonable diet for infants and young children with tonsillitis, which is very uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
It is essential to promptly treat a child for tonsillitis. Additionally, their daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Examples include apples and kiwis, which also have the functions of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, providing significant benefits for tonsillitis. It is advisable to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which is a good option. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and consume fewer "heating" foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat. Seafood should also be eaten in moderation or avoided. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, avoiding pickiness and partiality in their diet.
