Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 2 months old. Initially, she had a slight pain in her throat, and I noticed that she was coughing more severely. She also had a bit of a fever and seemed less energetic. What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
Diet is also very important during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended that mothers give their children more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost the child’s immunity, thus aiding in the repair of the tonsils. For fruits, we generally suggest choosing some fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. Daily meals should consist of easily digestible foods like congee and noodles. During this period, avoid giving children foods that may trigger allergies such as beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood. Also, do not feed them spicy foods like spicy hotpot or Sichuan hotpot. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring hygiene and health, and avoiding picky eating and dietary preferences.
