Question
A baby boy, just over 6 months old, has a sore throat with slight coughing and persistent high fever. What should be eaten during the period of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to maintain a diet that is light and easy to digest. Include plenty of vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have cooling and detoxifying properties, and are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and fight off diseases. Suggestions include fruits like pears and apples, as well as vegetables like green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes, choosing based on the child’s preferences. The diet should be easy to digest, such as congee or noodles, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Parents should help children develop good living habits, maintain a regular routine, engage in moderate exercise, enhance immunity, and reduce the incidence of diseases.
