What to Eat During the Treatment of Pediatric tonsillitis

Question

Dear parents, my son is just over 2 months old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water, and it seemed difficult for him to swallow. He also had a low fever. What should I feed my child during the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis?

Answer

If your child has tonsillitis, it’s recommended to seek medical treatment promptly. In terms of diet, first of all, vegetables and fruits are light and a good choice during the treatment period. They are rich in vitamins that can help boost the immune system and improve symptoms. For example, fruits like pears and apples have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties and can be consumed more. Additionally, you can choose some easily digestible foods for your child, such as slightly thinner porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, avoid giving your child foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat. These can be detrimental to the illness. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, maintain hygiene and health, and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
