Question
Dear reader, my daughter is just 6 months old and has just started experiencing pain when swallowing, even when drinking water. I’ve noticed that she has difficulty swallowing and seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. What dietary precautions should be taken for a child with tonsillitis who has no appetite?
Answer
It is essential to treat tonsillitis promptly in children. In addition, daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits, which are relatively rich in nutrients and can greatly enhance the child’s immunity. For example, pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis are good choices. You can also choose some easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, parents should pay attention not to let the child eat spicy or stimulating foods and drinks. Parents should also help children develop good eating habits, ensuring hygiene and health, and avoiding picky eating and dietary preferences.
