Question
Dear Baby, she is 5 months old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, discomfort when drinking water, along with difficulty swallowing and a low fever. What are the dietary precautions for children with sore throat and tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to eat light and easily digestible foods. Consume plenty of vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and trace elements to boost immunity, such as pears and apples, which have a cooling and anti-inflammatory effect, can be taken in moderate amounts. Choose staple foods that are light and easy to digest, such as congee and noodles. Avoid spicy and irritant foods as well as allergens, which may worsen the symptoms. Diet is crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so be sure to adjust your diet accordingly.
