Question
My son is 9 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a high fever. How should a child with tonsillitis be fed in a reasonable manner when they are crying?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, which should be light, non-irritating, and nutritious, such as pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis, etc.; daily meals should mainly consist of easily digestible foods like congee and noodles; it is not advisable to eat irritant food (spicy foods) such as seafood and dog meat, and cultivating good eating habits is also very important.
