Question
Baby girl, just 2 months old, feels a sore throat when talking, has severe coughing, and has been slightly feverish. What dietary precautions should be taken for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents take their child to the doctor promptly if they suspect tonsillitis. In terms of diet, it is advised to eat a light diet, consume plenty of vegetables and fruits, which are rich in various vitamins and trace elements and help the child fight off diseases. For example, the vitamin C in tangerine peel has a good effect on inflammation. It is suggested to choose easily digestible foods such as porridge or soft noodles. Drink plenty of plain water regularly and avoid consuming seafood, dog meat, and other allergenic foods. At the same time, it is important to help the child correct picky eating habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
