Question
My daughter is 8 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. She also has a slight fever. What should I pay attention to in her diet if she has tonsillitis?
Answer
While treating a child’s tonsillitis, attention to diet is also crucial. It is recommended to give the child plenty of fruits and vegetables, as they are light and rich in various vitamins and trace elements, which help fight off diseases. For instance, the vitamin C in tangerine peel is beneficial for inflammation. Additionally, it is suggested to choose easily digestible foods such as well-cooked soft noodles and congee. While maintaining a light diet, also avoid foods that may trigger inflammation, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Moreover, also help the child develop good eating habits.
