Question
What can children eat more of when they have tonsillitis and their tonsils are swollen?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is crucial. It is recommended to give children more vegetables and fruits, which are light, non-irritating, and rich in nutrition, helping to fight off the illness. When choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold, and opt for fruits with a neutral temperature, such as apples and kiwis. Daily meals should be easy to digest and swallow, with porridge and noodles being the main options. The noodles should be cooked soft. At the same time, it is advisable to eat less of foods that can trigger allergies, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef or mutton. Lastly, help children develop good eating habits.
