Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 1 year old and has been feeling a sore throat and difficulty swallowing recently, along with a fever. I would like to know what foods children with tonsillitis should avoid.
Answer
To help your child’s tonsillitis heal as quickly as possible, diet is crucial. It is recommended to consume fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins that help boost the immune system, such as pears, apples, tangerines, and kiwis. For diet, it is suggested to choose light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-swallow foods like congee and noodles. It is best to avoid giving your child spicy and stimulating foods like seafood and dog meat, as these are not conducive to the recovery of the condition. Children with tonsillitis may experience some complications, so parents should assist their children in receiving proper treatment.
