Question
Dear Baby, she’s just one month old. Initially, she had a bit of pain in her throat, accompanied by a slight cough. Additionally, she’s been a bit feverish. What dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
It’s essential to treat tonsillitis promptly in children. Additionally, daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but also help boost immunity. They are also relatively light and can be chosen from pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are good options. In terms of dietary choices, it’s best to go for easily digestible foods such as congee or noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it’s also important to eat less irritant food like poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. For the treatment of tonsillitis, in addition to following the doctor’s advice, parents should also help children develop good eating and living habits to aid in an early recovery.
