During the child's treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should first be light. The child can eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system, alleviate symptoms, and provide relief. For example, pears are cooling and have properties that reduce fever, soothe the throat, expel phlegm, and relieve pain, helping to alleviate the discomfort of acute tonsillitis. In terms of daily meals, it is best to focus on light, easily digestible, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent choices. While maintaining a light diet, the child should also avoid certain foods that may aggravate the condition, such as poultry, eggs, donkey meat, beef, and lamb. Lastly, it is important to help the child develop healthy eating habits, avoiding picky eating and partiality, to ensure a balanced diet and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
