Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 8 years old. She initially complained of a sore throat with slight coughing, and now she has a persistent high fever. What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is important to maintain a light and easy-to-digest diet. Consume plenty of vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins and can help boost the immune system and improve symptoms. Options include pears, kiwis, and tangerines. Also, choose easily digestible foods such as congee or soft noodles, drink plenty of plain water, and avoid foods that may exacerbate symptoms like beef and mutton, as well as seafood. It is also helpful to assist the child in correcting picky eating habits to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients.
