Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 2 months old. Initially, he complained of a sore throat, and I noticed that he has been coughing quite severely. He also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. What should children with tonsillitis and low fever avoid eating?
Answer
Children’s tonsils are prone to inflammation, and once it occurs, it should be checked and treated as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on vegetables and fruits, as they are light and rich in various vitamins and trace elements, which help children resist diseases. For example, pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis are all good choices. Daily meals should be selected for easy digestion, such as congee and noodles. Avoid giving children spicy and irritating foods like hotpot and spicy noodles, as well as irritant foods such as beef, mutton, and seafood. In daily life, it is also important to cultivate good habits such as going to bed early and getting up early, as well as moderate exercise.
