Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis who always cry?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins and can help improve immunity and alleviate symptoms. Options include pears, kiwis, and honeysuckle, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. However, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as certain "trigger foods" during this period. Additionally, it is essential to help the child overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
