Question

Dear Baby, she is only 6 months old and just started to have a little pain in her throat. I noticed that when she talks, her voice is a bit hoarse, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. I would like to know: What should children with tonsillitis avoid eating?

Answer

During the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, giving the child more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and relatively light, which can be very helpful for treating the disease. Pay attention to avoid overly cold fruits and choose fruits with a neutral temperature, such as apples and kiwis. In addition, select foods that are easier to swallow and digest, such as porridge. Parents should also ensure that the child does not eat spicy or irritant food, as diet plays a crucial role in the treatment of tonsillitis, and it is essential to pay attention to this.
