Question
My daughter is 2 years old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and I noticed that her coughing was quite severe. It seems like she’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. What dietary precautions should be taken for infants and young children with tonsillitis?
Answer
For dietary adjustments for children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrients and can enhance immunity. It is suggested to choose fruits like pears and apples, as well as vegetables such as greens, cabbage, and tomatoes, which are easy to digest and swallow. It is recommended to mainly eat porridge and noodles, maintain a light diet, and avoid foods like poultry eggs, donkey meat, and mutton and beef, which can help the child develop good dietary and living habits, aiding in a quicker recovery.
