Question
What diet should a child with tonsillitis follow?
Answer
If a child experiences tonsillitis, the diet should primarily be light and should mainly consist of vegetables and fruits. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can help boost immunity, but they are also relatively light. For example, apples and kiwis can help regulate qi and dissolve phlegm, moisten the lungs, and are very beneficial for tonsillitis symptoms. Additionally, you can choose some easily digestible foods for the child, such as slightly thinner porridge or more well-cooked noodles. Moreover, it’s important to avoid giving children spicy and pungent foods like spicy hotpots and hotpots, as well as allergenic foods such as beef, mutton, and seafood. At the same time, also help correct the child’s bad habits of picky eating and anorexia to ensure comprehensive absorption of nutrition.
