Question
Dear parents, my child, currently 8 years old, has recently started experiencing a sore throat, with a hoarse voice and a slight fever. What dietary habits should be observed when a child is uncomfortable with tonsillitis?
Answer
Diet is crucial during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended to give children a variety of vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements to boost their immune system. Choices of fruits like pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates are good, as are vegetables like green leafy vegetables and tomatoes. Also, easily digestible foods such as congee or cooked noodles can be selected. It is important to avoid spicy and stimulating foods to help establish healthy lifestyle habits, maintain regular work and rest , and engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity, which can help reduce the incidence of disease.
