Question
What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, it is important to maintain a light diet, primarily consisting of vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only light and non-irritating but also rich in nutrition, helping to combat the illness. It is recommended to choose fruits like pears and apples, as well as vegetables such as green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes. The diet should be easy to digest, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, parents should avoid giving their children spicy and irritant foods and drinks, helping them develop good living habits including regular sleep schedules, moderate exercise, enhancing immunity, and thereby reducing the incidence of diseases.
