Question

Dear parents, my son is just over 6 months old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water and his throat. I noticed that he has been coughing quite severely, and now he has a persistent high fever. How can children with tonsillitis have a reasonable diet?

Answer

Tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases that requires timely treatment. A reasonable diet is very important for children with tonsillitis. You can give your child some vegetables and fruits, as they are light, easy to digest, and rich in various vitamins and trace elements, which help to resist the disease. For example, apples and kiwis have the effects of resolving phlegm, moistening the lungs, and are very helpful in the treatment of tonsillitis. At the same time, choose some foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge. While maintaining a light diet, avoid eating spicy and irritant foods. Parents need to assist their children in proper treatment because pediatric tonsillitis may have some complications that are very harmful to the child’s health.
