Question
Dear parents, our 9-year-old daughter recently complained of a sore throat, slight cough, fever, and lack of energy. How should we reasonably adjust her diet?
Answer
During the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to have a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and help boost immunity. Foods like apples and kiwis can help resolve phlegm, moisten the lungs, and are beneficial for tonsillitis. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles. At the same time, parents should avoid giving their children irritating and spicy foods and cultivate good living habits, including going to bed early and waking up early, as well as moderate exercise.
