Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. He just started to feel pain when drinking water, and his throat is sore. He also has a severe cough and seems to have a low fever that hasn’t gone away. What should I feed him during the treatment for children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
It is essential to treat tonsillitis promptly in children. Additionally, you can include more vegetables and fruits in your child’s diet, as many fruits have a cooling and detoxifying effect, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. It is recommended to choose fruits with a neutral taste, such as tangerines and kiwis. Pay attention to easy-to-digest and easy-to-swallow foods in daily meals, so it is suggested to mainly consume thin porridge and noodles, making sure the noodles are cooked soft. At the same time, avoid spicy and irritant foods, as well as certain allergenic foods. Parents should help their children develop good living habits, regular work and rest , and appropriate exercise to improve immunity, which can greatly reduce the incidence of diseases.
