Question
A boy, 8 years old, initially experienced throat pain when speaking and found swallowing a bit difficult, with a slight fever persisting. What should be noted about dietary precautions for pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange the child’s diet properly. Firstly, it is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements and help boost immunity. Additionally, light and easily digestible foods like pears and apples have a cooling and anti-inflammatory effect and can be eaten more frequently. Moreover, choose easily digestible foods such as soft porridge and noodles. At the same time, reduce the intake of foods that may trigger inflammation, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Finally, help the child develop good eating habits.
