Question
My son is 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during speech, and also had a slight fever with a lack of energy. What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
While treating a child’s tonsillitis, dietary considerations are also crucial. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in vitamins and help boost immunity. For instance, the peel of tangerines is rich in vitamin C and has good anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, it is advisable to choose easily digestible foods such as well-cooked noodles and congee. Spicy dishes like spicy hotpot and beef, mutton, and seafood should be avoided. At the same time, it is important to help children correct their bad habits of picky eating and anorexia to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
