Question
My daughter is 1 year old and has started experiencing severe throat pain, coughing, and fever. What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to eat a light diet and consume more vegetables and fruits to boost immunity, such as pears and apples, which have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. Choose easily digestible foods like porridge and soft bread, and avoid foods that can cause inflammation, such as beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood. At the same time, avoid picky eating and maintain adequate nutrition and resistance to prevent recurrence.
