Question
Dear Baby, my daughter is 8 months old and has a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever. What should a child with tonsillitis eat more of?
Answer
It is recommended to take your child to a doctor for treatment as soon as possible. For diet, choose light vegetables and fruits, which can help in the treatment process; for example, fruits like pears and apples have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties and are suitable for eating more. Additionally, opt for easily digestible foods such as porridge and cooked noodles, and avoid spicy and irritant foods as well as beef, mutton, seafood, etc., to prevent exacerbating the condition. Tonsillitis in children may lead to complications that are highly detrimental to their health, so parents should assist their children in receiving proper treatment.
