Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, has a sore throat and a bit of hoarseness, with a persistent high fever. What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis fever?
Answer
It is recommended to adjust the daily diet for children with tonsillitis, consuming more fresh vegetables and fruits. Some fruits that have cooling and detoxifying properties, such as apples and kiwis, are good choices. During this time, avoid eating foods that are easy to cause fever like beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood. Also, avoid spicy and irritant foods to help the child develop good eating habits.
