Answer
Tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases, requiring timely treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to avoid giving children spicy and irritant foods such as spicy hotpot and hotpot, as well as allergenic foods like beef, mutton, and seafood. It is recommended to choose easily digestible foods such as congee or overcooked noodles. Additionally, it is advisable to have children consume more vegetables and fruits like pears and apples, as they have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties that can help children fight off the disease. It is also important to ensure that children receive proper treatment, as tonsillitis in children may lead to complications that can be very detrimental to their health.
