What foods can a child with tonsillitis and sore throat eat?

Patient's question:

Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and it seemed like a low-grade fever that never went away. Please ask: What foods can the child eat if he has tonsillitis and sore throat?

Doctor's answer:

During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is also a very important aspect. It is recommended that mothers can give their children more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in a lot of vitamins, which helps boost immunity. For fruits, it is advisable to choose pears, apples, etc. For vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are all good options. You can choose based on your child's preferences. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible foods, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat spicy or irritating foods, as well as sugary foods. Additionally, parents should also help their children correct their picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
