Question
My child is a 9-year-old boy. Lately, he has been experiencing a sore throat and severe cough, accompanied by a low-grade fever. What dietary taboos should be observed for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, children should primarily consume light and easy-to-digest foods. They can eat more vegetables and fruits, especially those rich in vitamins, such as apples and kiwis, which can help boost immunity. It’s important to avoid spicy and irritant foods like spicy hotpot, beef and mutton, seafood, etc., as these may worsen the symptoms. Paying attention to diet is crucial for the treatment of tonsillitis, so be sure to choose the right foods.
