Question
A 3-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever and has been diagnosed with tonsillitis. What dietary items should infants avoid in this situation?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended that infants adopt a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and help boost immunity. For example, pears and apples have a cooling and anti-inflammatory effect and are suitable for eating more. At the same time, choose easily digestible foods such as thin congee, noodles or noodles that are cooked very soft. It is advisable to avoid giving irritant spicy foods such as spicy hotpot, as well as irritants like beef, mutton, seafood, and others. Additionally, cultivating good eating habits in children is also very important.
