Question

My child is a boy, just over 3 months old. Recently, I’ve noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse and he seems to have difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. What dietary precautions can help improve or alleviate these symptoms?

Answer

For dietary precautions regarding children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with daily diet adjustments:

  1. Fresh Vegetables and Fruits: Consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, pears, and apples, which are rich in vitamins and help boost immunity.
  2. Soft and Digestible Foods: Choose softer, more easily digestible foods, such as well-cooked noodles or congee.
  3. Avoid Allergenic Foods: Try to avoid allergenic foods like beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood, as these may worsen the symptoms.
  4. Good Habits: In addition to a healthy diet, also pay attention to your child’s lifestyle habits, including early to bed and early to rise, as well as moderate exercise.
