Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 7 years old. At first, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse during speech. It seems like she has had a low fever that hasn’t gone away. How should a child with tonsillitis and sore throat have a reasonable diet?
Answer
A child’s diet is crucial for a quick recovery from tonsillitis. Firstly, it’s important to consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and are relatively light, which is very helpful in treating the disease. Good choices include pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis. Also, it’s important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles and dumpling wrappers. At the same time, try to avoid giving the child foods that may exacerbate the symptoms, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood. In daily life, it’s also important to help the child develop good habits, in addition to healthy eating, which includes going to bed early and waking up early, as well as moderate exercise.
