Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 1 year old and has a slight sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. What should we feed our child during the period of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is prone to inflammation. It is recommended to focus on a diet of light vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in nutrition and can help boost the child’s immunity. When selecting fruits, avoid those that are too cold. Opt for fruits with a neutral temperature, such as apples and kiwis. Daily meals should be easy to digest and swallow, with porridge and noodles being the main choices. Noodles should be cooked until soft. Parents should avoid giving the child spicy and irritating foods. Help the child develop good living habits, including regular rest and activity, moderate exercise, to enhance immunity, and reduce the incidence of disease.
