Question
Dear Baby, she is only 8 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and it seems her coughing has also become more severe. She also has a low fever. What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustments. Encourage your child to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins and can help improve immunity and alleviate symptoms. Recommended fruits include pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Pay attention to easy-to-digest and easy-to-swallow foods in daily meals; porridge and noodles are recommended, especially noodles should be cooked soft. At this stage, avoid giving your child beef, mutton, poultry eggs, seafood, and other allergenic foods. Also, avoid spicy and irritant foods like spicy hotpot. At the same time, help your child correct the bad habit of picky eating and ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
