It is generally recommended to let children eat more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins and can help improve immunity, alleviate symptoms. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee and noodles.
