Question

What dietary points should be considered when a child has tonsillitis?

Answer

While treating a child’s tonsillitis, it’s important to pay sufficient attention to their diet. It is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost their immunity and improve symptoms. When selecting fruits, avoid those that are too cold, and opt for fruits with a neutral taste, such as apples and kiwis. In daily meals, choose easily digestible foods like congee and noodles, and avoid giving children beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood, which may trigger allergies. Also, avoid spicy and irritant strong foods like spicy hotpot. Lastly, help children develop good eating habits.
