Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. She also had a low fever. I would like to ask: what should the child eat during the treatment for tonsillitis when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment for tonsillitis, the daily diet should primarily be light.

For fruits, it is recommended to choose pears, apples, etc. For vegetables, options like green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are great. You can choose based on the child's preferences.
