Question
Dear Baby, she is only 5 months old. Initially, she complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that she has been coughing more severely and has a low fever. What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common disease that requires prompt treatment. When it comes to diet, it is advisable to opt for light and easily digestible foods such as vegetables and fruits. These foods are rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can aid in the child’s recovery. Pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis are all good choices. Daily meals should primarily consist of light and easy-to-digest foods like congee and noodles. At the same time, it is best to avoid giving the child foods like beef, mutton, poultry eggs, seafood, as well as irritant foods such as spicy hotpot and hotpot. Good dietary and lifestyle habits of parents can also help the child recover quickly.
