Question
A three-month-old male infant is experiencing swallowing pain, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever, which may be symptoms of tonsillitis. What should a child avoid eating when they have difficulty swallowing due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Children’s tonsils are prone to inflammation and should be checked and treated early. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on fruits and vegetables, choosing easily digestible foods such as congee. Avoid feeding the child spicy foods such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood to prevent exacerbation of symptoms. Establishing good eating habits, avoiding picky eating and preference for certain foods, can ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
