Question
A 7-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat, and it was noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, he now has a persistent high fever. The question is: What can a child with inflamed and swollen tonsils eat more of?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, in addition to pay close attention treatment, attention should also be paid to their diet. Firstly, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as they are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help the child fight off the illness. It is recommended to choose fruits that are mild and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. Pay attention to easy-to-digest and easy-to-swallow foods in daily meals; soups and noodles are recommended, with noodles cooked to be soft and tender. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let the child eat spicy and irritating foods, helping them correct bad habits of picky eating and ensuring comprehensive absorption of nutrition.
