Question
Dear Baby Girl, currently 4 years old, just started saying that she has a sore throat when swallowing, noticed that her coughing seems more severe, and now she has a persistent high fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and red swelling eat rationally?
Answer
Diet is crucial during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, which have a cooling and detoxifying effect, and are rich in vitamins to enhance immunity. Avoid cold and raw fruits, and opt for neutral fruits like apples and kiwis, as well as easily digestible foods like porridge and soft bread. Spicy and stimulating foods should not be consumed. Complications of pediatric tonsillitis can be harmful to health, please assist the child in receiving proper treatment.
