I have infection and swelling in my throat and mouth - #31499
Hello Doctor, I am currently experiencing an infection along with swelling and pain in my mouth and throat. Because of this, I am finding it a little difficult to eat and drink comfortably. I wanted to ask you specifically about my diet during this time. For example, is it safe for me to drink tea when I have this kind of throat infection and swelling? Sometimes warm tea gives temporary relief, but I am not sure whether it might irritate my throat further. Also, I usually eat bread with ghee, so I want to know if consuming bread and ghee together would be okay in my present condition, or should I avoid it? Since my throat is sore, I am confused about what types of foods are good and what might worsen the infection. Could you please guide me on what kinds of foods and drinks are best for a throat infection and swelling? Should I stick to soft, warm, and liquid foods, or can I also take semi-solid items? I would appreciate if you could provide me with a list of food items I should prefer and those I must avoid until my infection improves.
