Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and it seemed a bit difficult to swallow. Additionally, he has a low-grade fever. How should I feed my child with tonsillitis to ensure a healthy diet?
Answer
It is essential to treat tonsillitis promptly in children. Additionally, daily diet should include more vegetables and fruits as they are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and alleviate symptoms. For instance, the peel of tangerines is high in vitamin C, which has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. Choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as thin porridge, which is a good option. Avoid giving children foods like beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood at this stage. Of course, this also includes spicy dishes like hotpot and steambuns. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits, including healthy eating, early to bed and early to rise, and moderate exercise.
