Question
My daughter is one year old, and she has recently been experiencing sore throat and difficulty swallowing, along with a high fever. What should I be cautious about in terms of diet when my child has tonsillitis and swelling?
Answer
Tonsillitis in children is common, and once symptoms appear, it is important to seek medical examination and treatment promptly. In terms of diet, it is recommended to adopt a light diet rich in vitamins and trace elements. Fruits like pears and apples, as well as vegetables such as green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes, are good choices. Choose according to your child’s preferences and provide easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles. Avoid eating seafood, dog meat, and other foods that may trigger the condition. Additionally, parents should help their children develop good living habits, including regular work and rest ( work and rest) and moderate exercise to enhance immunity and reduce the likelihood of illness.
