Question
What dietary restrictions should be avoided if a child has tonsillitis and lacks appetite?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. Firstly, encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutrients that help boost the child’s immunity. It is recommended to choose fruits like pears and apples, as well as vegetables such as green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes. The daily diet should be easy to digest and easy to swallow, with porridge and noodles being the main choices, and the noodles should be cooked until they are soft. At the same time, avoid giving the child foods that can trigger the condition, such as seafood and dog meat. In addition to proper diet, it is important not to be picky or biased in eating to avoid malnutrition, reduce resistance, and lead to recurrence.
