Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What kind of food can infants and young children with tonsillitis eat when they have no appetite.Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, they should be examined and treated as early as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light in flavor. When it comes to fruits, it is generally advisable to choose those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats or kiwis. It is important to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are excellent choices. During this period, foods that are considered "heating" such as beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood should be avoided. This also includes spicy and irritating foods like hot pot or spicy noodle soup. Finally, it is important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding pickiness and preference for certain foods, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
