Question
Dear Baby Girl, currently 3 years old, just started to say that she has pain when swallowing, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and has had a slight fever. What are the dietary restrictions for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is important to arrange a child’s diet reasonably. Firstly, you can give the child more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and help boost immunity. For example, fruits like pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates, as well as green leafy vegetables and tomatoes, are good choices. At the same time, choose easily digestible foods such as congee, cooked noodles, and noodles. Also, drink plenty of plain water. However, avoid eating some irritants such as seafood and dog meat. Finally, cultivate good eating habits in the child to avoid picky eating and selective eating. This ensures a balanced diet and reduces the incidence of tonsillitis.
