Question
My daughter is 8 years old and has recently been experiencing sore throat and slight cough, accompanied by a persistent high fever. What dietary taboos should be observed for children with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis and a fever, it’s important to avoid spicy and irritant foods. Instead, consume easily digestible vegetables and fruits like pears to boost immunity and alleviate symptoms. Opt for light and easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles in daily meals, and avoid picky eating to ensure a balanced diet and enhance body resistance to prevent recurrence.
