Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been feeling a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. Question: What should a child with tonsillitis eat more of?
Answer
Children are prone to tonsillitis, and it is recommended that their diet consist mainly of light vegetables and fruits. Many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which help boost immunity. It is suggested to choose fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. The diet should be easy to digest, such as congee and noodles. Avoid irritating spicy foods and allergenic foods. Tonsillitis in children may lead to complications that are harmful to their health, so parents should assist their children in receiving proper treatment.
