Question
My son is 11 years old and has recently developed symptoms of tonsillitis, including sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever. What dietary precautions should I take? What are the restrictions to avoid?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common disease that requires timely treatment. During the treatment process, it is recommended to provide your child with vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins that can help boost the immune system and fight off diseases. For example, pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis are good choices. Additionally, choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. At the same time, avoid spicy and irritating foods as well as allergenic substances that may cause allergic reactions. Finally, helping your child develop good living habits, including regular sleep schedules and moderate exercise, can effectively enhance immunity and reduce the incidence of diseases.
