Question
A baby boy, just over 6 months old, is experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent fever. What should be avoided when a child has tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
When tonsillitis is detected, timely treatment is essential. Daily diet should include plenty of vegetables and fruits, choosing light and non-irritating foods such as pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which are rich in nutrition and help fight off diseases. The diet should be easy to digest, with soups and noodles as the main choices. The noodles should be cooked until they are soft and mushy. Additionally, drink plenty of plain water, consume less beef, mutton, and dog meat, which can trigger fever, and reduce or avoid seafood. Parents should help children develop good eating habits, maintain hygiene and health, and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
