Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 6 months old. Initially, he complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, he has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. I would like to know, what dietary restrictions should be observed for a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases and requires timely treatment. While treating the condition, it is advisable to give the child some vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins that help boost the immune system. For example, fruits like pears and apples have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties and can be consumed in moderation. At the same time, choose easily digestible foods such as thin porridge, noodles that are well-cooked, and dumpling wrappers. In addition to a light diet, it is also recommended to eat fewer stimulating foods such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton. Parents should help their children develop good living habits, maintain regular schedules, engage in moderate exercise, and enhance immunity to significantly reduce the incidence of disease.
