Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 5 months old and has a slight sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a fever. What dietary precautions should be taken during a pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange your child’s diet properly. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, thereby enhancing immunity. When selecting fruits, avoid overly cold types such as apples and kiwis; fruits with a neutral nature are more suitable. The diet should be easy to digest, such as congee and noodles. Avoid spicy and pungent foods like spicy hotpot and Sichuan hotpot, as well as beef, mutton, seafood, and other similar foods. Additionally, cultivating good habits is also very important, including healthy eating, going to bed early and waking up early, and moderate exercise.
