Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 2 months old. Initially, he complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that he has a more severe cough and a bit of fever, as well as a lack of energy. What are the dietary restrictions to avoid when an infant has tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. Firstly, it is recommended to give the child more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements and are relatively light, which can be very helpful for treating the illness. Options include pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates. When it comes to vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are good choices. The daily diet should include easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles, and plenty of water should be consumed. Additionally, it is advisable to reduce or avoid eating foods like mutton and dog meat, which are considered to stimulate the body. Diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so attention must be paid to it.
