Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she said her throat was sore, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. She also has a slight fever and lacks energy. What dietary precautions should be taken for a child with tonsillitis who has a sore throat?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, the diet should be primarily light. Consume more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements, as they aid in the treatment of the disease. Choose fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. For staple foods, opt for easily digestible options like congee and noodles, and avoid irritant foods such as seafood and dog meat, which may be detrimental to the condition.
