Question

My daughter is only 4 months old, and she seems to have pain while swallowing, her voice sounds a bit hoarse, and she seems to have a fever and is not very energetic. My child has tonsillitis; are there any dietary restrictions?

Answer

When a child has tonsillitis, in addition to following the doctor’s treatment plan, parents should also pay attention to their child’s diet. It is recommended to provide the child with fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, such as pears and apples that have a cooling and anti-inflammatory effect. Moreover, choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as porridge. At the same time, avoid giving the child foods that can easily trigger symptoms, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood. Parents should help their children develop good eating and living habits, which will help improve immunity and promote symptom improvement, thereby achieving the goal of early recovery.
