Question
My daughter is 7 years old and just started to complain of a sore throat when speaking. I noticed she has been coughing quite severely, and it seems like she’s had a low fever that hasn’t gone away. How should a child with tonsillitis have a reasonable diet?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, special attention should be given to their diet. It is recommended to increase the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamins and help boost the immune system. Choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. Avoid giving children beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood, which may cause discomfort. Additionally, helping children develop good eating habits is also very important.
