Question
A 1-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, difficulty drinking water, hoarse voice, and persistent high fever. What dietary precautions should be taken during a tonsillitis episode?
Answer
It is recommended to adjust the diet by having the child consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements and can help alleviate symptoms. Choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. Avoid foods like poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton that may exacerbate the symptoms. Help the child develop good eating habits.
