Question
Dear Baby, she’s just one month old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her coughing was more severe, and it seemed like she had a low-grade fever that never went away. How should a child with tonsillitis have a reasonable diet?
Answer
Children’s tonsils are prone to inflammation, and once it occurs, it should be checked and treated as soon as possible. For diet, it is recommended to focus on light foods such as vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrients and can help boost the child’s immunity, thus aiding in the repair of the tonsils. Good choices include pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis, etc. Also, it is important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as porridge, noodles that are well-cooked and soft, and bread skin. At the same time, avoid giving them foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health, and avoiding picky eating and dietary preferences.
