Question
My daughter is 9 years old. She recently started having a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing, and she has a bit of a fever and lacks energy. I’d like to know, what can a child with tonsillitis and low fever eat more of?
Answer
Tonsillitis in children is quite common, and it’s important to have it checked and treated as soon as possible. For diet, it’s recommended to focus on light foods such as vegetables and fruits, which are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but also help boost the immune system. However, when choosing fruits, it’s best to avoid those that are too cold, such as apples and kiwis. For daily meals, it’s important to choose easily digestible and easy-to-swallow foods like porridge and noodles. The noodles should be cooked soft. It’s also advisable to drink plenty of plain water. Foods that may cause allergies, such as seafood and dog meat, should be avoided. In addition to healthy eating habits, children should develop good living habits, including going to bed early and waking up early, as well as engaging in moderate exercise.
