Question
A boy, 8 years old, initially experienced throat pain when speaking, severe coughing, and had a slight fever. What can a child with tonsillitis that is always feverish eat more of?
Answer
Children’s tonsils are prone to inflammation, and once they occur, it is important to seek medical examination and treatment as soon as possible. For diet, it is recommended to focus on vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, enhance immunity, and promote recovery. When choosing fruits, avoid those that are too cold and opt for neutral fruits such as apples and kiwis. For other dietary choices, it is suggested to select easily digestible foods like cooked noodles and congee. Parents should also avoid giving children spicy and irritant foods that can irritate the throat, help correct the child’s picky eating habits, and ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
