Question
My daughter is 6 years old and recently had a tonsillitis attack. In addition to severe coughing and a high fever, her throat is also very painful. What dietary taboo should I be aware of to help her recover quickly?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common disease that requires timely treatment. During the treatment process, in addition to light and non-irritating foods, it is also recommended to give the child vegetables and nutritious fruits to help boost their immunity and fight off the disease. When choosing fruits, avoid overly cold varieties and opt for neutral fruits such as apples and kiwis. Moreover, it is best to choose easily digestible foods like porridge or soft noodles. At the same time, spicy and irritating foods and trigger foods should be avoided. Parents should also help their children develop good living habits, including regular sleep schedules and moderate exercise, to enhance immunity and reduce the incidence of disease.
