Question
Baby girl, 5 months old, experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever. What should be noted in terms of diet when the child has tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is advisable to choose light and easily digestible foods, and to consume more vegetables and fruits to supplement nutrition and boost immunity. It is recommended to select fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis, and avoid eating seafood and dog meat, which can trigger fever. In addition to drinking plenty of water, it is also necessary to avoid picky eating to prevent nutritional imbalance that may affect immunity.
