Question
Dear Baby, currently 2 years old, just started to feel a sore throat when speaking, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and also has a bit of fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should a child with inflamed and swollen tonsils have a reasonable diet?
Answer
Tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases, requiring timely treatment. While treating the condition, it’s advisable to give the child some vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have cooling and detoxifying properties and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Good choices include pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis. It’s also recommended to choose some easily digestible foods; cooking porridge or softening noodles are suitable for children during treatment. It’s important to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it’s best to avoid or limit foods like lamb and dog meat, as diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis.
