Question
Baby boy, 2 months old, has a sore throat with cough and low fever. How should one pay attention to the diet for redness in pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
While treating pediatric tonsillitis, diet is also very important. It is recommended to give the child a variety of fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements and help boost the immune system. Choose fruits with a neutral taste and high in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis, and also provide some easily digestible foods like porridge or well-cooked noodles. Spicy and irritant foods as well as those that may trigger allergies are not suitable for the child at this stage. In addition to following the doctor’s treatment plan, parents should also help cultivate good eating and living habits for the child, which can aid in a quicker recovery.
