Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 1 year old. She has been complaining of pain when swallowing, accompanied by a slight cough and fever, and seems lackluster. What are the dietary recommendations for a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to have a light diet, consuming plenty of vegetables and fruits. These are rich in nutrients that can boost immunity and aid in the repair of the tonsils. For instance, tangerine peels are high in vitamin C and have good anti-inflammatory effects. Choose easily digestible foods such as porridge or well-cooked noodles. Avoid spicy and irritant food like spicy hotpot, as well as beef, mutton, seafood, and other irritant foods. At the same time, cultivate good eating habits in the child.
