Question
My daughter is 2 years old. She has a sore throat, slight cough, and low-grade fever recently. What are the dietary restrictions for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, it is important to maintain a light diet, primarily consisting of vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, which help boost the immune system. It is recommended to choose foods like pears, apples, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes. Consider cooking porridge or noodles that are easy to digest as well. In addition to a light diet, it is important to avoid eating stimulating foods such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton. Also, cultivate good eating habits for the child.
