Question
How to adjust diet for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, it’s recommended to maintain a light and easy-to-digest diet, primarily consisting of vegetables and fruits. These foods are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system and alleviate symptoms. It’s advisable to choose fruits that are neutral in nature and high in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. Daily meals should be easy to digest and swallow, with porridge and soft noodles as the mainstay, ensuring that the noodles are well-cooked. During this period, avoid giving children foods that are difficult to digest like beef and mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood, as well as spicy foods like chili and hotpot. Lastly, cultivating good eating habits in children is also very important.
