Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 7 months old and has just started to complain of a sore throat. I’ve noticed that his coughing seems more severe, and he also has a low-grade fever. What are the dietary restrictions for an uncomfortable throat during pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Diet is also a very important aspect during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended to give your child more vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can enhance immunity and resist diseases. You can choose fruits like pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In daily meals, choose easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles. At the same time, try to avoid giving your child foods that may exacerbate the symptoms, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring hygiene and health, and not being picky or biased in their food choices.
