Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 2 months old and has just started to feel pain when drinking water, and now she has a slight cough. Moreover, her fever has not subsided. What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases and requires timely treatment. While treating the condition, it’s important to feed the child vegetables and fruits, which are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but also help boost immunity and are relatively light. For example, pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis are good choices. You can also opt for easily digestible foods like slightly thinner porridge or well-cooked noodles. At the same time, parents should avoid giving the child spicy or irritant food and provide appropriate care. Additionally, while maintaining a proper diet, it’s important to avoid picky eating to prevent malnutrition and decreased resistance, which may lead to recurrence.
