Question
My 7-year-old daughter is experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and a low-grade fever. How should we address her dietary needs during the tonsillitis and low fever period?
Answer
It is important to treat tonsillitis as soon as possible. Dietary recommendations include consuming more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and can enhance immunity and improve symptoms. It is suggested to eat light, easy-to-digest foods such as apples and kiwis, which have good effects on clearing phlegm and nourishing the lungs. It is advisable to avoid irritant foods such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton. Parents should help their children develop good eating habits and maintain hygiene and healthy eating.
