1. Avoid allergenic foods: Clearly identify and strictly avoid consuming known or suspected allergenic foods to prevent recurrent allergic reactions.
2. Balanced nutrition: Consume foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and fish, which help strengthen physical condition and immunity.
3. Light and easily digestible diet: Choose light, easily digestible foods and avoid greasy, spicy, and irritating foods to reduce gastrointestinal irritation and burden.
