Question

My daughter is three years old, and she says her throat hurts, and her voice sounds a bit hoarse, accompanied by a low-grade fever. When a child has tonsillitis, they often cry and fuss. How should we care for and plan their diet?

Answer

When a child shows symptoms of tonsillitis, seeking medical attention promptly is very important. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to the child’s diet, providing more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, enhance immunity, and accelerate recovery. For example, the peel of kumquats is rich in vitamin C and has good anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, it is recommended to choose easily digestible foods such as congee or soft noodles, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, maintain hygiene and health, and avoid picky eating.
