Question
A 4-month-old boy started to feel a sore throat and hoarse voice when he began to talk, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should a child with tonsillitis be fed?
Answer
Tonsillitis requires timely treatment. It is recommended to consume plenty of vegetables and fruits, as their nutrients can boost the immune system and aid in the repair of the tonsils. Choose mild and neutral fruits like apples and kiwis, and consume easily digestible foods such as congee and cooked noodles in moderation. Avoid spicy and irritant foods, beef and mutton, seafood, and other similar items. Cultivate healthy dietary, rest, and exercise habits.
