Question
My son is 5 years old. He recently started complaining that it hurts when he swallows, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse during speech, and it seems like he’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, daily diet should mainly be light, with an emphasis on vegetables and fruits. Choose fruits like pears and apples, as well as vegetables like green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes. Select easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and avoid consuming foods like mutton and dog meat that may exacerbate the condition. During the treatment period, parents should help their children develop good eating and living habits to promote recovery.
