Question

Dear parents, our daughter, currently 8 years old, is experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a slight fever. What are the dietary restrictions during a child’s tonsillitis?

Answer

During the treatment of a child’s tonsillitis, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, consuming plenty of vegetables and fruits while avoiding cold fruits. Opt for neutral fruits such as apples and kiwis. Additionally, choose easily digestible foods like cooked noodles and congee, and avoid spicy foods, hotpot, and other irritant foods, as well as foods like beef, mutton, and seafood. Parents should help cultivate good eating habits in their children and maintain hygiene and healthy dietary habits.
