Question
What are the dietary restrictions for children experiencing difficulty swallowing due to tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, diet is very important. It is recommended to give children more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and are relatively light, which helps in treating the disease. Recommended choices include fruits like pears and apples, as well as vegetables like green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes. Pay attention to easy-to-digest and easy-to-swallow foods in daily meals, with porridge and noodles being the main options. The noodles should be cooked until soft. At the same time, avoid giving children spicy and stimulating foods such as spicy hotpot, as well as foods like beef and mutton, seafood, etc., which are considered to cause heat. Parents should also help children develop good eating habits, ensuring hygiene and health, and avoiding picky eating and dietary preferences.
