Question

Dear parents, my daughter is currently 4 years old and has recently been feeling a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent high fever. What should be noted when a child is uncomfortable with tonsillitis?

Answer

When a child has tonsillitis, diet is just as important as treatment. It is recommended to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, as the nutrients they contain can boost the immune system and promote the repair of the tonsils. For example, pears are cooling and can help reduce fever, soothe the throat, resolve phlegm, and alleviate pain, which can help relieve throat discomfort. Additionally, choosing easily digestible foods like porridge and cooked noodles, and avoiding spicy and irritant foods, is crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis.
