Question
Dear Baby, just 1 month old, just started to say that swallowing is painful, noticed that the coughing is more severe, and has a slight fever. Please ask: What can a child with tonsillitis not eat?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, giving the child more vegetables and fruits as they are relatively rich in nutrients and can help improve the child’s immunity. Choose fruits that are mild in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. In terms of diet, opt for easily digestible foods like congee or noodles. At the same time, avoid giving the child foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat. Additionally, attention should be paid to cultivating good living habits for the child, including healthy eating habits, maintaining early to bed and early to rise, and moderate exercise.
