Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 3 months old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing and a bit of fever, as well as a lack of energy. What can a child with swollen tonsils eat?
Answer
Diet is also very important during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrients and can effectively enhance the child’s immunity. Fruits like pears and apples, which have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, are particularly beneficial. In terms of other food choices, opt for soft, easily digestible foods such as well-cooked noodles and congee. While maintaining a light diet, it is also advisable to reduce the intake of foods that may cause inflammation, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good living habits, maintain regular sleep schedules, engage in moderate exercise, and boost their immunity to significantly reduce the incidence of diseases.
