Question
Baby boy, just over 1 month old, has started feeling throat pain, accompanied by a slight cough and low fever, and lacks energy. What should be noted when a baby has tonsillitis with a low fever?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in infants, it is recommended to have a light diet, consuming more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only light and non-irritating but also rich in nutrition, helping to fight off the illness. It is suggested to choose fruits like pears and apples, as well as vegetables like green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes. The daily diet should mainly consist of light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods such as congee and noodles. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid eating foods like lamb and dog meat that may trigger symptoms. Diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so please pay attention to dietary habits.
