Question

Dear Baby, currently 9 years old, just started to feel a bit of pain in the throat, accompanied by a slight cough, and has been a bit feverish. What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis and low fever?

Answer

For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with daily diet adjustments. When children have tonsillitis, they should eat more light, non-irritating fresh vegetables and fruits such as pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis, etc., while avoiding foods that may trigger the condition, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Additionally, choosing easily digestible foods like porridge or soft noodles can aid in the child’s recovery. Parents should help their children develop good eating and living habits to promote a quicker recovery.
