Question
My daughter is 8 years old and has recently started to feel a sore throat, her voice is a bit hoarse, and she has a low-grade fever. What should be the reasonable diet for a child with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
It is recommended that parents take their child to the doctor for timely medical treatment. In terms of diet, it is suggested to eat light meals, consume more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements, helping to boost immunity. Choose soft staple foods such as congee or noodles to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening the condition. At the same time, parents should avoid giving their child irritating spicy foods and help them develop good eating habits.
