Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old, started by saying her throat hurts. I noticed she also has a slight cough. Additionally, she has had a low fever for a while. Could you please tell me what she shouldn't eat if she has tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsils are very prone to inflammation. If they occur, they should be examined and treated as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on lighter foods such as vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively help improve children's immunity. For example, the peels of kumquats are rich in vitamin C, which has a good anti-inflammatory effect. When making dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles, which are both excellent choices. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to eat fewer "trigger foods," such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Finally, parents should help their children develop good habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in appropriate exercise, and boost their immunity. This can significantly reduce the incidence of diseases.
