Question
What should a child with tonsillitis eat during the treatment period?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it’s recommended to start with daily diet adjustments. Encourage your child to consume fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are light and rich in various vitamins and trace elements, which help children resist diseases. For instance, the vitamin C in tangerine peel has a good effect on inflammation. Pay attention to the ease of digestion and swallowing in the diet, and it is suggested to mainly consume thin porridge and noodles. Avoid eating foods that are likely to cause allergies, such as beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood, as well as spicy and pungent foods like spicy hotpot and Sichuan hotpot. Diet is crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so be sure to pay attention to dietary intake.
