Question
What Should Children Avoid Eating When They Have a Sore Throat and Fever from Tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating children’s tonsillitis, dietary considerations are equally important. It is recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as these foods are light, non-irritating, and rich in nutrients, which help to resist the disease. Opt for fruits with neutral properties such as apples and kiwis, as well as soft staple foods like congee and noodles, which can avoid affecting swallowing and worsening the condition. At this stage, avoid giving children foods like beef and mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood, as well as spicy and pungent foods such as spicy hotpot and hotpot. Additionally, it is important to help children develop good eating habits, avoiding picky eating and selective dieting, to ensure a comprehensive intake of nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
