Question
A boy, aged 1 year old, initially had a slight sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and was accompanied by a low-grade fever. What should be paid attention to in the diet when a child has tonsillitis and a low fever?
Answer
While treating a child’s tonsillitis, dietary considerations are also crucial. It is generally recommended to have the child consume more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins that can boost the immune system. We usually suggest choosing fruits that are neutral in nature and high in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. In daily meals, attention should be given to easy-to-digest and easy-to-swallow foods, so porridge and noodles are recommended as the main dishes.
