Answer
Tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases that require timely treatment. While treating tonsillitis in children, it is important to provide cooling and detoxifying fruits and vegetables, as many fruits have cooling and detoxifying properties, are rich in vitamins, and can help boost immunity and fight off diseases. Options include pears, kiwis, and tangerines. Additionally, it is recommended to choose easily digestible foods such as porridge or soft noodles, which are suitable for children during treatment. It is also important to avoid foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood. Lastly, helping children develop good eating habits, avoiding picky eating, can ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
