Question
My 3-year-old son has just started to have a sore throat, with more severe coughing, and he also has a low fever. What can a child with tonsillitis eat more of when they are crying?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to have a light diet, consuming more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, which are helpful for treating the illness. For example, pears and apples have cooling and anti-inflammatory effects and can be eaten more. It is best to choose foods that are easy to digest and swallow, such as thin porridge and soft noodles. Pay attention to avoid spicy and irritant foods, as diet plays an important role in the treatment of tonsillitis.
