Question
Dear Baby, she is just 4 months old. At first, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that she had a slight cough along with a low-grade fever. What should I be aware of regarding the child’s diet and crying when she has tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Dietarily, it is best to choose vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements to enhance immunity, thereby promoting recovery. It is suggested to choose fruits like pears, kiwis, and tangerines, and opt for easily digestible foods such as congee or noodles. Ensure adequate fluid intake and avoid eating seafood or dog meat, which may trigger allergies. Parents should help their children develop good eating habits, maintain hygiene, and avoid picky eating or dietary preferences.
