Question
My son is five months old and has a sore throat, severe cough, and a low-grade fever. What should I be aware of when my child with tonsillitis is crying?
Answer
It is recommended that you take your child to the doctor promptly. For dietary purposes, focus on light and easily digestible foods, and increase intake of vegetables and fruits to boost immunity and alleviate symptoms. Opt for fruits with neutral properties such as apples and kiwis, and avoid overly cold foods. Daily meals should be light and easy to digest, like porridge or noodles, drink plenty of water, and eat less or no mutton or dog meat, which may trigger symptoms. Additionally, cultivate good living habits, including going to bed early and waking up early, and engaging in moderate exercise.
