Question
Dear parents, our daughter is 9 years old and has just started to complain of a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. What dietary precautions should be taken when a child has tonsillitis and a sore throat?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, diet is also very important. It is recommended to consume fresh fruits and vegetables, which should be light and nutritious to help fight the illness. For example, tangerine peel is rich in vitamin C, which is beneficial for inflammation. Choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, while reducing the intake of foods that may trigger the illness, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef or mutton. Diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so please pay attention to it.
