Question

My daughter is two years old, and recently I’ve noticed that her voice sounds hoarse and she seems to have a sore throat while speaking. She also has a persistent fever. What should I pay attention to in her diet during treatment? What are some suitable foods?

Answer

Children’s tonsils are prone to inflammation, and once it occurs, it’s important to seek medical examination and treatment promptly. In terms of diet, here are some recommendations:

  • Focus on vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, boost immunity, and accelerate recovery.
  • Choose neutral, non-cold fruits such as apples and kiwis.
  • Pay attention to light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods like congee and noodles.
  • Reduce the intake of irritant foods such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton.
  • Help your child develop good eating habits.
