Question
A baby boy just turned 2 months old and is experiencing pain when swallowing and drinking water. He has a severe cough and a low-grade fever. What should a child with tonsillitis and high fever eat?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to adjust the daily diet and increase the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. These are rich in nutrients that help boost the immune system and promote the recovery of the tonsils. Choices include pears, apples, greens, cabbage, and tomatoes, while it is advised to avoid seafood and dog meat. It is suggested to provide easily digestible foods such as cooked rice porridge or noodles, and to avoid picky eating or dietary preferences. Ensuring a balanced diet strengthens resistance and reduces the likelihood of recurrence.
