Question
Dear baby, she is 8 months old and has a sore throat, hoarse voice, and fever. What should be noted in the dietary care for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with daily dietary adjustments. Encourage the child to eat fresh vegetables and fruits, which have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, while also being rich in vitamins to help boost immunity and fight off diseases. Choose fruits with a neutral temperature, such as apples and kiwis, and pay attention to foods that are easy to digest and swallow. Stick to soft noodles, and eat less of the types of food that can trigger inflammation, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. For complications associated with children’s tonsillitis, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
