Question
My daughter is 8 years old and recently has been experiencing a sore throat, hoarse voice, and fever. How can I avoid dietary restrictions when she has tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
Tonsillitis should be treated promptly, and it is advisable to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables. Pears, in particular, have cooling, throat-soothing, expectorant, and pain-relieving properties, making them suitable for alleviating acute tonsillitis symptoms. It is recommended to eat easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles, avoiding foods that can trigger inflammation such as beef, mutton, poultry eggs, seafood, and spicy and irritant foods that may worsen the complications of tonsillitis. To protect your child’s health, it is essential to assist in the correct treatment.
