Question
Dear parents, my son is just 8 months old. Initially, he said he had a sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should infants and young children with difficult swallowing due to tonsillitis have a reasonable diet?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, in addition to timely treatment, special attention should be paid to their diet. Firstly, it is important to consume fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins to boost immunity. For example, apples and kiwis have the effects of resolving phlegm, moistening the lungs, and are beneficial for the recovery from tonsillitis. The daily diet should mainly consist of easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to avoiding giving their child spicy and irritant foods and seasonings. A reasonable diet is crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so please pay attention to it.
