Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It turns out her cough is also quite severe, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and difficulty swallowing have a reasonable diet?Doctor's answer:
If a child contracts tonsillitis, it is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. When it comes to fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc. For vegetables, options like leafy greens, cabbage, and tomatoes are all good choices. You can choose based on your child's preferences. In daily diet, it is also important to focus on easy-to-digest and swallow foods, so it is recommended to prioritize porridge and noodle dishes. The noodles must be cooked to be soft and smooth. While maintaining a light diet, it is also necessary to eat fewer "trigger foods" such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Finally, it is also important to help your child develop good eating habits.
