Question
Dear Baby, she is just 3 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and her voice was a bit hoarse. She also had a low-grade fever. What should I pay attention to in terms of diet if my child has tonsillitis and keeps crying?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, in addition to treatment, attention should be given to their diet. It is recommended to consume fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins to enhance immunity, such as pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which have cooling and detoxifying effects. The diet should be light and easy to digest, with porridge and bread being ideal. Avoid spicy or irritant food such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood, as these may worsen the symptoms. Parents can cultivate good eating habits in their children, maintain hygiene and health, and avoid picky eating or dietary preferences.
