What Should a Child Eat During a High Fever Due to tonsillitis?

Question

Dear Parent, my son is just over 9 months old and has been complaining of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and fever. What should he eat during the treatment?

Answer

During the treatment for tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to maintain a light and easy-to-digest diet, with an emphasis on vegetables and fruits. Fruits like pears and apples, which are rich in vitamins, can boost immunity and help with cooling and anti-inflammatory effects. The diet should be light and easy to digest, such as congee or noodles, and should avoid spicy and stimulating foods like spicy hotpot, as well as foods like beef, mutton, and seafood that may trigger the condition.
