Question
Baby girl, 8 months old, experiencing throat pain, mild cough, and fever. What dietary precautions should be taken during pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis requires timely treatment, and daily diet should include plenty of vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost immunity and are easy to digest. It is recommended to choose fruits with a neutral taste and high in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis, and opt for easily digestible foods like congee or soft noodles. It is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods as well as those that may trigger allergies. If pediatric tonsillitis is not treated promptly, it may lead to health problems, so parents should assist their children in receiving proper treatment.
