Question
A boy, already 1 year old, initially complained of pain when swallowing, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and has been a bit feverish. What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
It is very necessary to seek medical attention immediately when a child has tonsillitis. Parents should encourage their child to eat more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and help boost immunity. It is recommended to choose fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. In terms of other food choices, it is suggested to opt for easily digestible foods like cooked noodles and congee. At the same time, avoid giving the child foods that may worsen symptoms such as beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood. Also, help the child correct picky eating habits to ensure a comprehensive intake of nutrition.
