Question
My son is 3 years old. He recently started saying that he has pain when swallowing, and I noticed that he is coughing more severely, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. What should I pay attention to in his diet if he has low fever tonsillitis?
Answer
Diet is also very important during the treatment of tonsillitis. I suggest that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity and improve symptoms. When choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold, and opt for neutral ones like apples and kiwis. Daily meals should be easy to digest, so it’s recommended to have porridge or soft noodles as the staple food. Parents should also avoid giving their children spicy and irritant foods, help correct their picky eating habits, and ensure they absorb all the necessary nutrients.
