Question
What should a child with tonsillitis eat when they are crying a lot?
Answer
When children have tonsillitis, it is recommended to maintain a light diet. You can give your child more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrients and can help boost the child’s immunity. For fruits, options like pears and apples are suggested, while vegetables can include green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes. For other foods, it is recommended to choose easily digestible options such as soft noodles and congee, and to drink plenty of plain water. It is advisable to reduce the consumption of foods that are likely to trigger illness, such as beef and mutton, dog meat, and seafood. It is also important to help children develop good eating habits, avoid picky eating or dietary preferences, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the risk of tonsillitis.
