Question
My daughter is 5 years old and has symptoms of sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever. What dietary precautions should be taken for a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is advisable to start with dietary adjustments. Encourage the child to consume fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are light in taste and rich in vitamins and trace elements, which help the child fight off diseases. It is recommended to choose fruits that are neutral in taste and high in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. At the same time, pay attention to choosing easily digestible foods like porridge and well-cooked noodles, and avoid spicy and irritant foods to prevent any impact on the child’s health.
