Question
A 9-year-old boy has a slight sore throat, hoarseness, and a bit of fever. How should a child with tonsillitis manage their diet to alleviate throat pain?
Answer
It is important to treat tonsillitis promptly. Daily diet should include plenty of fruits and vegetables, rich in vitamins and trace elements, light and easy to digest. Foods like pears and apples have a cooling and anti-inflammatory effect and can be consumed in moderation. It is advisable to avoid seafood, dog meat, and other irritants. Cultivating good dietary habits helps maintain comprehensive nutrition and reduce the risk of tonsillitis.
