Question
Baby girl, just 3 months old, has a slight sore throat with mild coughing and fever. How can a child with tonsillitis have a rational diet?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, they should consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, which are light and rich in various vitamins and trace elements, helping to enhance immunity. For instance, the vitamin C in tangerine peel has a good effect on inflammation. It is recommended to choose easily digestible foods such as cooked noodles and congee, and avoid consuming foods that may cause allergies, such as beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood. At the same time, parents should help their children develop good eating habits, maintain hygiene and health, and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
