Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 7 months old and has just started to feel pain when drinking water and even when swallowing. He has a slight cough and has been slightly feverish. What should we pay attention to in terms of diet for infants with tonsillitis?
Answer
Dietary considerations during the treatment of tonsillitis are also very important. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can obviously help children resist diseases. You can choose pears, kiwis, and tangerines, among others. At the same time, it is also recommended to choose foods that are easy to digest, such as making congee or cooking noodles until they are soft. Foods like beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood should be avoided at this stage, as well as spicy and irritant food such as hotpot and spicy steambuns. At the same time, also pay attention to helping children correct the bad habits of being picky about food or being a picky eater to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
