Question
Dear Baby, she is only 6 months old. At first, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that she has a more severe cough and a bit of fever with a lack of energy. What are the dietary precautions for a child with tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with daily dietary adjustments. Encourage your child to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements. They are also relatively light and can be very helpful in treating the disease. Choices like pears, kiwis, and tangerines are suitable, as they also have a cooling and detoxifying effect. When it comes to food selection, opt for easily digestible options like congee or noodles. Additionally, avoid giving your child spicy and irritant foods such as spicy hotpot, as well as allergens like beef, mutton, and seafood. Lastly, parents should help their children develop good living habits, maintain regular routines, engage in moderate exercise, and boost their immune system. This can significantly reduce the incidence of the disease.
