Question
Dear Mom, my baby girl is just one month old. Initially, she had a bit of a sore throat, and it seems her coughing has also become more severe. Additionally, she has a persistent high fever. What should I pay attention to in her diet during the treatment of tonsillitis?
Answer
Diet is also very important during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, as fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements. They are also relatively light and can be very helpful in treating the disease. For example, fruits like pears and apples have cooling and anti-inflammatory effects and can be eaten more. When choosing food, it’s best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee or noodles. Additionally, it’s important to drink plenty of plain water, eat less beef, mutton, dog meat, etc., which are considered to be stimulating foods. Seafood should also be eaten less or not at all. Finally, parents should help their children develop good living habits, regular routines, and moderate exercise to improve immunity, which can greatly reduce the incidence of the disease.
