Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 8 years old and has a slight sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a low fever. What should I do if my child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Children are prone to tonsillitis, and it should be treated as soon as possible. It is recommended to have a diet mainly consisting of light vegetables and fruits. Fruits like pears and apples have a cooling and detoxifying effect and are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity. For staple foods, choose soft and fine dishes such as congee or noodles to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening the condition. Avoid eating irritant foods like seafood and dog meat. It is important to assist your child in proper treatment to prevent complications that may affect their health.
