Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing, noticed his voice was a bit hoarse during conversation, and also had a slight fever and lack of energy. What should be eaten during the treatment period for tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, it is recommended that parents give them more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, enhance immunity, and help them recover quickly. For example, pears are cool in nature and have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and relieving pain, which can help alleviate the symptoms of throat discomfort from acute tonsillitis. Pay attention to easy-to-digest foods in daily diet, and it is suggested to mainly consume porridge and noodles, with the noodles cooked soft. Drink plenty of water and eat less or no mutton, dog meat, and other easily irritant foods. Cultivating good dietary habits is also very important.
