A 4-year-old boy, initially, felt a sore throat while speaking and had severe coughing. Now he has a persistent high fever. What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Diet is crucial during the treatment of tonsillitis. It is recommended to give children more vegetables and fruits, which should be light and non-irritating, nutritious, and helpful in fighting off the illness. Choices include fruits like pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates, as well as green leafy vegetables and tomatoes, and easily digestible foods such as congee and cooked bread. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as foods that are not suitable for consumption. Diet plays a vital role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so please pay attention.
