Question
What should a child with tonsillitis eat during the treatment period?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to have a light diet, consuming plenty of vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in various vitamins and trace elements, which help to enhance immunity. It is suggested to choose easy-to-swallow and digestible foods such as pears, apples, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes, and to avoid eating foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood. At the same time, cultivating good eating habits in children, avoiding picky eating and selective eating, can help ensure comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
