Question
A 5-year-old boy, initially, felt pain when swallowing water, and noticed that he had a severe cough and a bit of fever, lacking in energy. What kind of food can a child with tonsillitis eat?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended that parents take their child to receive treatment promptly. In terms of diet, vegetables and fruits are relatively light and a good choice during the treatment period. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements and are relatively light, which is very helpful for the treatment of the disease. For example, the peel of tangerine is rich in vitamin C, which has a good effect on inflammation. In daily diet, attention should be paid to easy digestion and easy swallowing. It is recommended to mainly eat porridge and noodles, which must be cooked soft. At the same time, it is also important to eat less food that may trigger symptoms, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Finally, it is also important to help children develop good eating habits.
