Question

Dear Parent, my son is just over 4 months old and is experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever. I would like to know the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis.

Answer

During the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is important to pay attention to the following dietary points: eat more vegetables and fruits, such as pears and apples, which can help boost immunity; choose easily digestible foods like well-cooked noodles and congee; drink plenty of plain water, and avoid eating beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood; cultivate good eating habits, avoid picky eating, maintain a balanced diet, and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
