Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 2 months old. He’s just started to have a slight sore throat, and when he speaks, his voice sounds hoarse. He also has a slight fever and seems listless. What are the dietary precautions for a child with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Children are prone to tonsillitis, so it is recommended to have a diet mainly consisting of vegetables and fruits, which can supplement vitamins and trace elements to enhance immunity. Pears are helpful for reducing fever, moisturizing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain, making them suitable for acute tonsillitis. Choose easy-to-swallow and easy-to-digest foods such as congee. Drink plenty of water regularly, and avoid eating seafood, dog meat, and other foods that may trigger symptoms. It is necessary to help the child strictly follow the treatment requirements.
