Question
My daughter is 7 years old. Initially, she said her throat hurt, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and it seemed like she had a low-grade fever that never went away. What can infants and young children eat more of when they have tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, the daily diet should primarily be light. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, which are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but also help to boost immunity. These foods are also relatively light. For fruits, it is suggested to choose pears, apples, and other similar options. For vegetables, greens, cabbage, and tomatoes are good choices. You can choose according to your child’s preferences. Pay attention to easy-to-digest foods that are good for the throat, and it is recommended to have congee or noodles as the main dishes. The noodles must be cooked until they are soft and mushy. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water. In addition, it is best to avoid or eat less lamb, dog meat, and other allergenic foods. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, children should also go to bed early and rise early, and engage in moderate exercise.
