Question
My daughter is three years old, and she has a sore throat, a slight cough, and a persistent fever. What dietary taboo are there for children with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, in addition to treatment, diet is also very important. It is recommended to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which are light, non-irritating, and nutritious, helping to resist the disease. Good choices include pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis, etc. The diet should mainly consist of easily digestible foods like congee and noodles. Avoid red meats, poultry eggs, seafood, and spicy or irritant foods. If tonsillitis is not treated properly in children, it may be harmful to their health, so parents should assist their children in receiving proper treatment.
