Question
My son is 3 years old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing, and now he has a persistent high fever. What should I pay attention to in his diet when he has tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with daily diet adjustments. Encourage the child to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins and can help boost immunity and improve symptoms. Options include fruits like pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates, as well as vegetables like green leafy vegetables and tomatoes. Additionally, daily meals should be easy to digest and easy to swallow, so soups and soft noodles are recommended. At the same time, parents should avoid letting the child eat spicy and irritant foods and drinks. Pay attention to proper eating habits and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences to prevent malnutrition and weakened resistance.
