Question
Dear Baby, she is only 6 months old and just started to say that she is having trouble swallowing, accompanied by a slight cough and a bit of fever, and seems less energetic. What dietary matters should be considered for children with swallowing difficulties due to tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. Firstly, you can give the child more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutrients and can help boost the child’s immunity. It is recommended to choose fruits with a neutral taste and high in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis, and opt for easily digestible foods like slightly thinner porridge and well-cooked noodles. At the same time, avoid giving the child foods such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood, as these may worsen the symptoms. Diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so attention must be paid to it.
