Question
Dear Baby, she’s only 5 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when she talked, and her voice was a bit hoarse. She’s also been a bit feverish. What kind of food can a child with tonsillitis eat?
Answer
When a child gets tonsillitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should encourage their child to eat more vegetables and fruits, as the nutritional elements can help boost the child’s immunity and promote the repair of the tonsils. It is suggested to choose fruits that are mild and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats and kiwis. Pay attention to easy-to-digest and easy-to-swallow foods in daily meals, with porridge and noodles as the main staple foods, ensuring the noodles are cooked soft and mushy. Additionally, drink plenty of plain water and avoid eating seafood, dog meat, and other allergenic foods. In daily life, help the child develop good habits, including healthy eating, early to bed and early to rise, and moderate exercise.
