Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 9 months old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water or swallowing. It seems he has difficulty swallowing. Moreover, he has a persistent high fever. What dietary taboos should be avoided when a child has tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
It is very important to follow a proper diet for children with tonsillitis to help them recover quickly. Firstly, they should consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, as these are rich in vitamins and can help boost immunity and improve symptoms. Examples include pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis. You can also choose easily digestible foods for the child, such as thin porridge or well-cooked noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton. Finally, parents should help their children develop good living habits, maintain a regular routine, engage in moderate exercise, and enhance their immunity to greatly reduce the incidence of diseases.
