Question
Dear parents, our daughter is only 8 months old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, severe cough, and persistent high fever. What should we feed her during the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, consuming more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrients that help boost immunity and promote the repair of the tonsils. Choose fruits with a neutral taste such as apples and kiwis, and avoid overly cold foods. It is suggested to opt for easy-to-swallow and digestible foods like congee. Additionally, try to avoid consuming foods like beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood that may exacerbate symptoms. In daily life, also help your child develop good habits, including healthy eating, early to bed and early to rise, and moderate exercise.
