Question
A 8-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing throat pain when speaking and difficulty swallowing, along with a low-grade fever. What kind of rational diet should be followed?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly. In terms of diet, it is suggested to eat lightly, consume more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, and boost the immune system. Options include fruits like pears, kiwis, and tangerines, as well as easily digestible foods such as porridge and cooked noodles. It is advisable to avoid spicy foods, hotpot, beef and mutton, seafood, and other irritating foods. Cultivate good eating habits and maintain hygiene and health.
