During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable diet for the child. First, the child should be encouraged to eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins, which can help boost the immune system. Examples include apples, kiwis, and others, which also have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moistening the lungs, which are very helpful for the treatment of tonsillitis. In terms of other dietary choices, it is recommended to select foods that are soft and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and porridge, which are excellent options. Additionally, spicy and irritating foods, such as hot pot and spicy noodles, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should be avoided. It is also important to help the child overcome picky eating and poor appetite habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
