Question

What can children eat more of if they have tonsillitis and a fever?

Answer

When a child experiences tonsillitis, it’s important to maintain a light diet. Focus on vegetables and fruits, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child resist the disease. Choices can include pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It’s also crucial to choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles and dumpling skins. While maintaining a light diet, it’s also recommended to eat less of foods that may trigger inflammation, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton. Additionally, it’s important to help correct the child’s bad habits of picky eating and anorexia to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
