Question
My daughter is 2 years old. She recently has been feeling a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and fever. She has been diagnosed with tonsillitis. What dietary precautions should I take?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis is closely related to daily diet. It is recommended to let your child eat more fresh fruits such as pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which are rich in nutrition, help boost the child’s immunity, and also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Additionally, pay attention to choosing easily digestible foods such as thin porridge, soft noodles, or dumpling wrappers. Drink plenty of plain water and eat less beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood as much as possible. Dietary adjustments are very important for the treatment of tonsillitis, so please pay close attention.
