Question
My son is 2 years old. He started to feel a sore throat when he spoke, and I noticed he has been coughing quite severely, and he’s had a slight fever as well. What are the dietary taboos for infant and toddler tonsillitis and swelling?
Answer
It is recommended to maintain a light diet for children with tonsillitis, focusing on vegetables and fruits. Opt for nutritious and easily digestible foods such as pears, apples, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes. Avoid eating irritant foods like poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Additionally, help your child develop good eating habits to ensure balanced nutrient absorption.
