Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy, and he just started saying that his throat hurts. I found that he has a slight cough and now has a persistent high fever. What should I pay attention to in terms of diet for swallowing difficulties with pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
If your child has tonsillitis, it is recommended that you take him to a doctor for treatment. In terms of diet, it is suggested to choose light vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the function of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which help to boost immunity. Opt for foods that are easy to digest, such as cooked porridge or soft noodles, and avoid spicy and irritant foods to help your child develop good eating habits.
