Question
An 8-month-old boy is experiencing pain when swallowing, severe coughing, and persistent high fever. What dietary precautions should be taken for a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that the mother take her child to seek treatment promptly. For diet, focus on light vegetables and fruits, rich in various vitamins and trace elements, such as tangerines, kiwis, and other fruits, as well as easily digestible foods like porridge and cooked noodles. Avoid irritating foods such as spicy dishes, beef and mutton, seafood, etc. Assisting the child in developing good dietary and lifestyle habits will help in a quicker recovery.
