Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing, and it was noticed that his coughing was more severe, and he had a slight fever all the time. What kind of food can a child with tonsillitis eat?
Answer
Diet is also a very important aspect during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended that parents give their children more vegetables and fruits, as these are rich in vitamins and can enhance immunity, improving symptoms. Choices of fruits can include pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates, while green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are also good options. In terms of diet, it’s best to opt for easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles. Additionally, parents should avoid giving their children spicy and irritant foods and seasonings. In addition to following the doctor’s treatment plan, parents should also help their children develop good dietary and lifestyle habits to promote a quick recovery.
