Question
There is a 9-year-old girl at home who recently has difficulty swallowing and mild fever symptoms, suspected of tonsillitis, and almost no appetite. What types of food can help her recover?
Answer
Tonsillitis is common in children, and once it occurs, it is important to seek medical examination and treatment as soon as possible. In terms of diet, it is recommended to focus on light, vitamin and trace element-rich foods. For example, fruits and vegetables are good choices not only because they are rich in vitamins but also because they have the effect of clearing heat and inflammation; pears and apples are good examples. Additionally, pay attention to easy-to-chew and swallow foods in daily meals, such as congee and noodles. Also, encourage her to drink plenty of water. Furthermore, avoid eating irritants like lamb and dog meat, and prevent picky eating to ensure a balanced intake of nutrition, enhance resistance, and avoid recurrence of the disease.
