Question
My son is 3 years old, and he recently has symptoms like sore throat, slight cough, and fever with low spirits. What are the dietary precautions for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, diet is also very important. It is recommended to consume fresh fruits and vegetables, as they are light and rich in various vitamins and trace elements, which help to enhance immunity. For example, pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis, etc., are good choices. The diet should be light and easy to digest, such as congee or noodles. Avoid spicy and irritant foods and ingredients like beef, mutton, and seafood. Parents should help their children develop good eating habits, maintain hygiene and health, and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
