Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 9 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and fever. What should be considered when it comes to dietary precautions for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common disease that requires timely treatment. While undergoing treatment, it’s important to feed the child vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins to boost their immunity. For instance, the vitamin C in tangerine peel is effective for inflammation. Opting for easy-to-swallow and digestible foods, such as congee, can be a good choice. It’s also essential to drink plenty of plain water and avoid foods that may trigger allergies, such as seafood and dog meat. Additionally, helping the child develop good living habits is crucial, including a healthy diet, early to bed and early to rise, and moderate exercise.
