Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed she was coughing more severely. She also had a low-grade fever. What should I pay attention to in the diet when my child has tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child develops tonsillitis, it is very important to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also ensure that their child consumes more vegetables and fruits, as these are rich in vitamins that can help boost the immune system and alleviate symptoms. For example, tangerine peel, which is rich in vitamin C, has good anti-inflammatory properties. It is also important to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles and dumpling wrappers. While maintaining a light diet, it is also advisable to eat fewer irritant foods like poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton. In addition to following the doctor’s treatment plan, parents should also help their children develop good eating and living habits to aid in an early recovery.
