Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 9 months old, she has a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. What dietary restrictions should be followed for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustments. Encourage your child to consume fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements and help boost their immune system. Choose light and easy-to-digest foods such as pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis, and porridge or cooked noodles. Avoid spicy and irritant foods as well as allergens, which are harmful to the child’s health. Tonsillitis in children may lead to complications, so parents should assist in the correct treatment of the child.
