Question
My son is 2 years old. Initially, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Now, he has a persistent high fever. What dietary precautions should I follow for a child with tonsillitis and a swollen throat?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet for children. Firstly, you can give your child more vegetables and fruits. The reason for this is to supplement vitamins and trace elements, which help boost immunity and facilitate a quick recovery. You can choose fruits like pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. At the same time, parents should pay attention not to give children spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is important to help children develop good eating habits; avoid picky eating and snacking. This ensures a balanced diet and reduces the incidence of tonsillitis.
