Question
My daughter is 9 months old and has a sore throat with a low fever. What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to maintain a light and nutritious diet, including plenty of vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrients and help boost immunity. For instance, the peel of tangerines is rich in vitamin C and beneficial for inflammation. It is suggested to choose soft, mushy, and easily digestible foods such as cooked noodles and congee. At the same time, it is important to avoid consuming foods like beef, mutton, dog meat, and seafood that may worsen the condition. Parents should cultivate good eating habits, maintain hygiene and health, and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
