Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed she was coughing quite severely. Additionally, she seems to have had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis and lack of appetite?
Answer
While treating pediatric tonsillitis, attention should also be given to the diet. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are rich in nutrients that can help boost the child’s immunity, thereby aiding in the repair of the tonsils. Fruits like pears and apples, for example, have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties and can be eaten in greater quantities.
