Question
Dear Mom, my 5-month-old daughter has been crying and fussing non-stop recently, with a sore throat, hoarse voice, and fever. What should be avoided when a child’s tonsils are inflamed and they always cry and fuss?
Answer
It is recommended that the baby be treated promptly. In terms of diet, it is suggested to choose light and easily digestible foods such as vegetables and fruits, like apples and kiwis, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements to help boost the immune system and alleviate the symptoms of tonsillitis. At the same time, avoid eating irritants such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Parents should also pay attention to cultivating good eating habits in their children, maintaining hygiene and health, and avoiding picky eating and dietary preferences.
