Question

Dear Baby, currently 1 year old, at first, said she had pain when swallowing, found that the coughing seems more severe, and now she has a persistent high fever. Please ask: What are the dietary restrictions for young children with tonsillitis?

Answer

Tonsillitis is a common disease that requires timely treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is recommended to feed the child vegetables and fruits, which are not only light and non-irritating but also rich in nutrients, helping to resist the disease. However, when selecting fruits, it is best to avoid those that are too cold, and opt for fruits with a neutral nature, such as apples and kiwis. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods like congee and noodles. Additionally, it is important to avoid spicy and irritant foods and certain triggering substances. During this stage, it is not advisable to give these foods to the child. Moreover, it is also crucial to help the child develop good living habits, such as going to bed early and waking up early, and engaging in moderate exercise.
