Answer
Children’s tonsils are prone to inflammation, and once it occurs, it should be checked and treated as soon as possible. For diet, it is recommended to focus on light foods such as vegetables and fruits. In addition to being light and non-irritating, these foods are also rich in nutrients, which can help resist diseases. Choices can include pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates. For vegetables, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes are also good options. It is also suggested to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or noodles that are well-cooked. It is important not to give children foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood or dog meat. Finally, parents should help children develop good living habits, maintain a regular schedule, engage in moderate exercise, and boost their immunity to greatly reduce the incidence of diseases.
