Question
My son is 3 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms like throat pain, severe cough, and persistent high fever. What can we eat more of during the pediatric tonsillitis period?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to give the child a variety of vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, thereby enhancing their immunity. Options include fruits like pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates, as well as green leafy vegetables and tomatoes. Additionally, opt for easily digestible foods such as congee, cooked noodles, and dumpling wrappers. Avoid consuming allergenic foods like beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood. Also, steer clear of spicy and irritant food like spicy hotpot, and help the child develop good eating habits.
