Question
What should children eat to prevent their throat from getting inflamed?
Answer
If it’s a case of pharyngitis and the child has a fever, it’s recommended to administer intravenous anti-inflammatory medication to relieve symptoms and prevent possible complications such as nephritis or myocarditis. If the fever subsides the next day, medication can be taken. Pay attention to the diet, avoiding overly hot foods, and opt for light and bland meals. Avoid cold foods and sugar, and try to eat soft foods like congee. Drinking plenty of water is also advisable.
