Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. Initially, he complained of a sore throat, and upon examination, I found that he was coughing quite severely and had a low-grade fever. What are the dietary precautions for discomfort associated with children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, parents should pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, boost their immunity, and accelerate recovery. For example, you can choose pears, which are cool in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain, helping to alleviate the discomfort symptoms of tonsillitis. Additionally, you can opt for thin porridge or well-cooked noodles that are easy to digest, and avoid giving your child spicy and irritant foods. Also, helping your child develop good eating habits is important.
