Question
My 9-year-old son has a case of pediatric tonsillitis, with symptoms such as throat pain, hoarseness, and persistent fever. How should I adjust his diet?
Answer
During the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, increase the consumption of vegetables and fruits, such as pears and apples, which have cooling and detoxifying properties and are rich in vitamins to boost immunity. Opt for easy-to-swallow and easy-to-digest foods like congee, avoid spicy and irritant foods and beverages, help improve the child’s picky eating habits, and ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
