Question
My son is 5 years old and a boy. He has just started to have a sore throat, and it seems like swallowing is a bit difficult. Moreover, he seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I manage his diet when he’s crying and has tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases, and timely treatment is necessary. While treating the condition, it’s important to have your child consume vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins that can help boost the immune system and alleviate symptoms. For daily meals, opt for easily digestible foods such as congee or noodles, and it’s recommended to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it’s advisable to limit or avoid eating foods like lamb or dog meat that may exacerbate symptoms, and also help your child develop good eating habits.
