Question
My daughter is one year old, and recently, when she speaks, she seems to have a sore throat, and there is also difficulty swallowing. She also has a fever and seems listless. Could it be that she has tonsillitis, and how should I adjust her diet structure for difficulty swallowing?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common illness that requires timely treatment. While being treated, it’s important to ensure the child gets plenty of vegetables and fruits to provide vitamins and trace elements, boost immunity, and promote recovery. When choosing fruits, it’s recommended to pick those that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as kumquats and kiwis. Additionally, opt for foods that are easy to swallow and digest, like porridge. It’s also crucial to avoid eating seafood, dog meat, and other ‘aggravating’ foods that may worsen the condition. Lastly, help your child develop good eating habits.
