Question
A 8-year-old boy has a sore throat, cough, and low-grade fever. How can dietary mistakes be avoided?
Answer
During the treatment of a child’s tonsillitis, it is recommended to have a light diet. Encourage the child to consume more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in various vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost their immunity. It is suggested to choose fruits like pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates, as well as green leafy vegetables and tomatoes. Opt for easily digestible foods such as congee and soft noodles, and avoid spicy and irritant foods like spicy hotpot, as well as allergenic foods like beef, mutton, and seafood. Additionally, cultivating good eating habits and avoiding picky eating can help maintain a balanced diet and reduce the risk of tonsillitis recurrence.
