Question
My son is 2 years old. He has just started to have a sore throat, with more severe coughing and a bit of fever, and he also seems less energetic. What should I pay attention to when my child with tonsillitis has no appetite?
Answer
Tonsillitis is one of the more common diseases and requires timely treatment. During the treatment period, it’s important to ensure the child eats plenty of vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, boost immunity, and promote recovery. For example, pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis are good choices. Additionally, you can opt for easily digestible foods such as slightly thinner porridge or well-cooked noodles. It’s recommended to drink more water and reduce or avoid eating foods like lamb and dog meat that can exacerbate symptoms. Apart from cooperate with doctor’s treatment,parents should also help children develop good dietary and living habits, which will aid in their early recovery.
