Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she said she had a sore throat, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe, and she seemed to have a low fever that hasn’t gone away. What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis and throat pain?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with daily dietary adjustments. Encourage the child to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, which are not only rich in vitamins and trace elements but also help boost immunity. These foods are also relatively light and can be chosen from options like pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which also have a cooling and detoxifying effect. It is also recommended to choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge or noodles cooked until soft, which are suitable for children during the treatment period. It is advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, it is recommended to eat less or avoid foods like mutton and dog meat, which are considered to be stimulating. In addition to following the doctor’s advice, parents should also help children develop good eating and living habits to aid in an early recovery.
