Question

Dear Parent, my son is just over 1 month old. Initially, he complained of a sore throat, and I noticed that he has difficulty swallowing and seems a bit feverish and lacks energy. Please ask: What can’t a baby with tonsillitis eat while crying?

Answer

Diet is also very important during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits. The reason for encouraging the child to eat more vegetables and fruits is to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which help boost the immune system and recover quickly. Good choices include pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis. Daily meals should be chosen for easy digestion, such as congee and noodles. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water and avoid eating foods like beef, mutton, and dog meat, as well as seafood, which should be eaten sparingly or not at all. Lastly, it is also important to help the child develop good eating habits.
