If a child suffers from tonsillitis, in addition to prompt treatment, diet should also be given attention. First, they can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, which help boost the immune system. For example, apples, kiwis, and other fruits have the effects of regulating qi, resolving phlegm, generating fluids, and moisturizing the lungs, which are very beneficial for the treatment of tonsillitis. In daily diet, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as congee and noodles. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let the child eat stimulating, spicy, or greasy foods.
