Question
A 2-year-old boy, initially complaining of pain when swallowing, was found to have a slight cough and a persistent low fever. What can a child with tonsillitis eat more of when crying?
Answer
In addition to treating children’s tonsillitis, dietary attention is also crucial. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, which are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but also help to boost immunity and are relatively light. It is suggested to choose fruits with a neutral taste and high in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis, and select foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. Drink plenty of water, and eat less or no mutton, dog meat, and other foods that may trigger symptoms. Cultivate good living habits, including healthy eating, early to bed and early to rise, and moderate exercise.
