Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 6 months old and has started to complain about pain when swallowing. I’ve noticed that he has difficulty swallowing and has been running a slight fever. What should I pay attention to in his diet if he has tonsillitis and no appetite?
Answer
Diet is also very important during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, which are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but also help boost immunity. These foods are also relatively light and can be chosen, such as pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which also have a cooling and detoxifying effect. It is also important to choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as thin porridge. Additionally, try to avoid giving your child foods that may exacerbate the symptoms, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood. Also, be mindful to help your child correct bad habits like picky eating and anorexia to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients.
