Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, coughing, and has a fever. Her mood is also not good. What kind of food can a child with tonsillitis eat?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, timely treatment is essential. In terms of daily diet, eating plenty of vegetables and fruits can help boost immunity and promote the recovery of the tonsils. Recommended foods include pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis, etc. Choose easily digestible foods such as soft noodles and congee, and avoid eating foods that may trigger allergies, such as beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood. Additionally, avoid spicy foods and hotpot to maintain a balanced diet. Avoid picky eating and avoid dietary imbalances to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence of the disease.
