Question
A three-year-old boy has tonsillitis, accompanied by a slight cough and fever. How should his diet be arranged appropriately?
Answer
Children are prone to tonsillitis, and once it occurs, it should be checked and treated promptly. It is recommended to focus on vegetables and fruits, maintain a light diet, and ensure a rich intake of vitamins to boost immunity. For example, the peel of tangerines is rich in vitamin C and has good anti-inflammatory effects. Easy-to-digest foods like congee and soft noodles can also be chosen, and plenty of water should be consumed. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid eating foods like lamb and dog meat, and help the child develop good living habits, including healthy eating, early to bed and early to rise, and moderate exercise.
