Question
My son is 9 years old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water and his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he’s been a bit feverish. What should we pay attention to regarding his tonsillitis, crying, and diet?
Answer
If you discover that your child has tonsillitis, it is crucial to treat it promptly. In addition, you can include more vegetables and fruits in your child’s daily diet. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements and are relatively light, which can be very helpful in treating the disease. You can choose fruits like pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which is a good option. At the same time, avoid giving him foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as seafood and dog meat. These can be detrimental to the illness. In daily life, also help your child develop good habits, including healthy eating, early to bed and early to rise, and moderate exercise.
