Question
A baby boy just over two months old is having difficulty with his throat and swallowing. He has a fever but is not very energetic. What foods should be avoided if the child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Treating tonsillitis requires prompt attention. Daily meals should be light and non-irritating. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables can help fight off illness. It is recommended to choose foods with cooling and detoxifying properties, such as pears, kiwis, and tangerines. Opt for soft, easily digestible foods like cooked foods and congee. Avoid eating beef and mutton, poultry eggs, seafood, and spicy or irritant foods. Cultivate regular work and rest habits and a lifestyle, and increase immunity through appropriate exercise to reduce the risk of illness.
