Question

Dear parents, my son is just over 7 months old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, accompanied by a mild cough and a bit of fever, and he seems less energetic. What kind of food can a child with tonsillitis eat when they have a fever?

Answer

If a child develops tonsillitis, it is very important to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits, as these are rich in vitamins and can help boost the immune system. We generally recommend choosing fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines or kiwis. Additionally, you can offer your child easily digestible foods like thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water. Moreover, it’s best to avoid or limit the consumption of spicy foods such as lamb or dog meat. Additionally, it’s important to help correct the child’s bad habits of picky eating and anorexia to ensure they receive a balanced diet.
