Question

My son is just over 1 month old, with a sore throat, cough, and low-grade fever. Could he have tonsillitis? What dietary precautions should be taken?

Answer

It is advisable for mothers to take their children to the doctor promptly. For diet, focus on fruits and vegetables, avoiding cold fruits. Choose neutral foods like apples and kiwis. Opt for congee and noodles that are easy to digest and swallow. Avoid spicy and irritant foods, and cultivate good living habits including healthy eating, early to bed and early to rise, and moderate exercise.
