Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 9 months old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and it seemed like swallowing was a bit difficult. He also had a low fever and seemed lackluster. What dietary matters should I pay attention to if my child has tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, in addition to treatment, diet is also very important. It is recommended to consume plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements and help boost immunity. For example, pears are cool in nature and can help reduce fever, moisten the throat, dissolve phlegm, and alleviate pain, thus helping to relieve discomfort caused by tonsillitis. Choose easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles for the diet, and avoid eating seafood and dog meat, as these foods are not conducive to the recovery of the condition. Diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so it is essential to pay attention to dietary adjustment.
