Question
Dear Baby, currently 5 years old, has a slight sore throat, finds swallowing a bit difficult, and is accompanied by a low fever. What are the dietary taboos for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis fever?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is crucial for recovery. It is recommended to feed the child more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements and help boost immunity. Choose light and easy-to-digest foods such as pears, kiwis, tangerines, congee, and bread; drink plenty of plain water. Avoid eating seafood, dog meat, and other foods that may trigger inflammation, and be mindful of the importance of diet in the treatment of tonsillitis.
