Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 6 months old. Initially, she complained of pain when swallowing, and her voice became hoarse when she spoke. She also had a low-grade fever. What dietary restrictions should be observed for children with difficulty swallowing due to tonsillitis?
Answer
It is very important to ensure that children recover quickly through their diet. Firstly, they should eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, as these are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child resist the disease. Apples, pears, tangerines, kiwis, and other fruits are good choices. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or noodles cooked until soft, which are suitable for children during the treatment period. During this stage, avoid giving children foods like beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood. Of course, this also includes spicy foods like spicy hotpot and Sichuan hotpot. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should go to bed early and rise early, and engage in moderate exercise.
