Question

My daughter is only 8 months old, and she has a sore throat recently, with severe coughing and a slight fever, as well as a lack of energy. What dietary tips can I follow to make her feel better?

Answer

Tonsillitis is a common disease that requires timely treatment. During the treatment process, it is recommended to provide the infant with fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and trace elements, such as pears, watermelons, tangerines, pomegranates, green leafy vegetables, and tomatoes. These foods are light and easy to digest. In addition, you can offer soft cooked noodles and congee, which are easy to chew and digest. At the same time, avoid giving infants spicy and irritating foods and drinks, and help them develop good eating habits to prevent picky eating and ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
