Question
My son is 9 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed he had a slight cough. He also had a bit of a fever and seemed less energetic. What dietary tips should I follow for my child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, the diet should be light and include plenty of vegetables and fruits. This provides the necessary vitamins and trace elements to help the child fight off the illness. It is recommended to eat fruits like pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis. Choose easily digestible foods such as thin porridge or cooked noodles. Additionally, drink plenty of water and avoid spicy foods like lamb and dog meat. Develop healthy eating and living habits, maintain regular sleep and wake times, and engage in moderate exercise.
