Question
My daughter is 5 years old. Initially, she had a bit of pain in her throat, and she has been coughing quite severely. It seems like she’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. What are the dietary restrictions for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis who have no appetite?
Answer
When children develop tonsillitis, it is recommended to eat light foods, consume more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins to boost the immune system, such as the vitamin C in tangerine peels, which is beneficial for inflammation. Choose easily digestible foods like congee or noodles, drink plenty of water, and try to avoid foods that easily cause heat, such as lamb and dog meat. It’s also important to help children overcome picky eating habits to ensure they absorb all the necessary nutrients.
