Question

What should I pay attention to in diet if my child’s tonsils are red and swollen?

Answer

If your child has tonsillitis, seeking medical attention immediately is crucial. Parents should ensure their child consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrients and help boost the child’s immunity and promote the recovery of the tonsils. It is recommended to choose fruits that are mild in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. Daily meals should be easy to digest and easy to swallow, with staple foods mainly consisting of porridge and soft noodles. At the same time, avoid consuming spicy foods such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton. Parents should also help their children develop good living habits, maintain regular work and rest, engage in moderate exercise, enhance immunity, and thereby reduce the incidence of diseases.
