Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation and can be consumed more frequently. In daily dietary intake, it should focus on light, easily digestible, and easy-to-swallow foods, such as congee and noodles, which are excellent choices. Additionally, and spicy foods like hot pot and spicy noodle soup, as well as allergenic foods like beef, lamb, and seafood, should not be given to children.
