Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 2 years old and has just started to feel a sore throat while speaking. I noticed she has a slight cough and is a bit feverish with a lack of energy. What kind of food should I give her when she has tonsillitis and a high fever?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it’s important to arrange a child’s diet reasonably. Firstly, children should be given more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrients that can help boost their immunity. However, when choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold. Opt for neutral fruits like apples and kiwis. Also, make sure to give your child easily digestible foods such as porridge, well-cooked noodles, and noodles. In addition, avoid giving your child spicy and irritant foods like spicy hotpot and items that may cause inflammation such as beef, mutton, and seafood. Diet plays a key role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so attention must be paid to it.
