Question
My daughter is only 3 months old, and she seems to have a sore throat recently. Her coughing is more severe, and she has symptoms of fever and lack of energy, which might be tonsillitis. What should I pay attention to in her diet?
Answer
When a child shows symptoms of suspected tonsillitis, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and adjust the child’s diet accordingly. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on light, easy-to-digest foods. It is suggested to eat more vegetables and fruits such as pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which are rich in nutrients and help boost the child’s immunity while also having the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Additionally, avoid giving children foods such as beef, mutton, poultry eggs, seafood, as well as spicy, hotpot, and other irritating foods. Parents should also help children develop good eating habits, maintain dietary hygiene, have balanced nutrition, and avoid picky eating to benefit the child’s growth and recovery.
