Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 8 months old and has just started to have a slight sore throat. He seems to have difficulty swallowing and is also experiencing a low-grade fever. What should I pay attention to in his diet?
Answer
Tonsillitis requires timely treatment, and it’s important to consume more vegetables and fruits to boost immunity. Pears, for example, have cooling and throat-soothing properties. Choose soft and fine-textured foods for the main course to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening the condition. Avoid eating seafood, dog meat, and other irritants, as these are not conducive to recovery.
