Children with tonsillitis have no appetite, what should be paid attention to in diet?

Patient's question:

Boy, already 1 year old, just started, a little sore throat, found, accompanied by mild cough, and, seems like low-grade fever hasn't gone away, please ask: what dietary precautions should be taken for children with tonsillitis and no appetite.

Doctor's answer:

If a child has tonsillitis, the diet should first be kept light. Vegetables and fruits should be the main components, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements and are relatively light, which is very helpful for treating the illness. For fruits, pears and apples are recommended, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are good choices. You can choose based on the child's preferences. For staple foods, opt for softer options like porridge or noodles to avoid difficulty swallowing or worsening constipation. At the same time, parents should ensure the child does not eat spicy or greasy foods. In daily life, it is also important to help the child develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should maintain a regular sleep schedule (going to bed early and waking up early) and engage in appropriate exercise.
