Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has started experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and a slight fever. What are the dietary tips for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly if a child has tonsillitis. For dietary considerations, it is advised to consume light vegetables and fruits as these foods are beneficial for clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins that help boost the immune system. It is suggested to choose easy-to-swallow and digestible foods, such as congee, and to avoid spicy or rough foods like seafood and dog meat, which may be detrimental to the condition. Lastly, help your child develop good eating habits.
