Question
What dietary principles should be followed when a child is crying and has tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis in children is a common disease that requires timely treatment. During the treatment period, it is advisable to give children vegetables and fruits, as the nutrients they contain can help boost immunity and aid in the repair of the tonsils. For instance, pears have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expectorating, and relieving pain. It is recommended to choose easily digestible foods such as congee or soft noodles. Avoid spicy and irritant foods such as spicy hotpot, beef and mutton, seafood, etc. Cultivating good eating habits in children and avoiding picky eating can contribute to comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
