Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that he was coughing quite severely, and also had a slight fever with a lack of energy. What should I pay attention to in his diet if he has tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child develops tonsillitis, it is very important to seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their children more vegetables and fruits, which are relatively rich in nutrients and can greatly enhance the child’s immunity. However, when choosing fruits, it is important to avoid those that are too cold and should opt for some with a neutral nature, such as apples and kiwis. Daily meals should be easy to digest and swallow, so it is recommended to mainly include porridge and soft noodles. It is also important to drink plenty of plain water. At the same time, it is advisable to avoid certain stimulating foods like seafood and dog meat. Additionally, parents should also help correct the child’s bad habits of picky eating and anorexia to ensure a comprehensive intake of nutrition.
