Question

Dear reader, my daughter is currently 9 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and she has been experiencing severe coughing and a slight fever. I would like to ask: What are the dietary principles for infants with difficult swallowing due to tonsillitis?

Answer

Tonsillitis in infants is quite common, and it is important to have it checked and treated as soon as possible. For dietary recommendations, it is suggested to focus on vegetables and fruits, opting for light meals. Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity. For example, fruits like pears and apples have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties and can be consumed in moderation. Additionally, easy-to-digest foods such as porridge or well-cooked noodles can be chosen. It’s important to drink plenty of plain water but avoid certain irritants like seafood and dog meat. Lastly, helping the child develop good eating habits is crucial.
