Question
My daughter is just four months old, and recently she has been feeling pain while swallowing, and her cough seems quite severe. She also has a low-grade fever. We suspect it might be tonsillitis. During the treatment, what kind of food should we give her? What precautions should we take?
Answer
In addition to medical treatment, dietary care is also very important during the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. It is recommended to provide the child with fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, such as apples and kiwis, which can help boost the immune system and improve symptoms. Moreover, in daily meals, choose easy-to-digest and swallow foods, such as congee and soft noodles. At the same time, avoid spicy and irritating foods and allergenic substances that may cause allergic reactions. Parents should help their children develop good eating and living habits to promote an early recovery.
