Question
Dear Baby, just 2 months old, at first, she felt pain when drinking water, and it seemed difficult to swallow. She also had a slight fever and lost her spirit. Please ask: What should a baby with tonsillitis and a high fever avoid eating?
Answer
Children’s tonsils are prone to inflammation, and once it occurs, it should be checked and treated as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on vegetables and fruits, as this type of diet is relatively light. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity. Choices like pears, kiwis, and tangerines can be selected, as they also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Daily meals should mainly be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee and noodles, which are very good options. It is suggested to drink more water and eat less or no mutton or dog meat, which can easily trigger inflammation. Tonsillitis in children may lead to some complications that are very harmful to their health, so parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
