Question
Dear Baby, currently 5 years old, just started to say that swallowing is painful, found that coughing seems to be more severe, and it seems that the low fever has not subsided either. Please ask: What dietary precautions should be taken when children are uncomfortable with tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main focus, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body, which can obviously help the child resist the disease. For fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc., and for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are all good choices. You can choose according to the child’s preferences. It is best to choose foods that are easy to digest, such as congee or noodles. In addition, foods that are spicy and irritating, such as spicy hotpot and hotpot, as well as irritants like beef and mutton, seafood, etc., should not be given to the child. Finally, parents should help children develop good living habits, regular routines, and appropriate exercise to enhance immunity. This can greatly reduce the incidence of diseases.
