Question
A one-year-old girl has a sore throat, hoarse voice, and symptoms of fever and lack of energy. How should her dietary structure be adjusted during the tonsillitis period?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, adjusting the dietary structure is crucial. It is recommended to provide the child with a variety of fruits and vegetables, which are not only light and non-irritating but also rich in nutrition to enhance immunity. For example, pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis are good choices. Additionally, the daily diet should mainly consist of easy-to-swallow, light, and easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles. At the same time, parents should avoid giving their child spicy and irritating foods and drinks and help them develop good eating habits.
