Question
My son is 3 years old. He has just started feeling a bit of pain in his throat, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. He also has a slight fever and isn’t very energetic. What should I pay attention to in his diet if he has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should give their child more vegetables and fruits. Many fruits have the function of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. In addition, choose easily digestible foods such as porridge and soft noodles, and reduce the consumption of foods that can trigger inflammation, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Furthermore, it’s important to help children develop good living habits in daily life. In addition to healthy eating, attention should be paid to early bedtime and early rising, as well as moderate exercise.
