Question
A 7-year-old boy, now in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat with slight coughing. Now he has a persistent high fever. What dietary precautions should be taken?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, children should maintain a light diet, consuming plenty of vegetables and fruits. Foods should be easy to swallow and digest, such as congee. At the same time, it is important to avoid spicy foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, beef, and mutton. Additionally, helping the child correct picky eating and aversion to food habits ensures comprehensive nutrient absorption.
