Question
Dear Sir, my son is just over 7 months old. He started to feel pain when drinking water, and his voice sounds hoarse when he talks. He also has a fever and seems listless. I would like to ask: What should a child with tonsillitis and fever avoid eating?
Answer
It is important to treat tonsillitis promptly in children. Additionally, it is recommended to include more vegetables and fruits in their diet, as many fruits have a cooling and detoxifying effect. They are rich in vitamins, which can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Choices can include pears, kiwis, and tangerines, which also have cooling and detoxifying properties. For other dietary options, it is suggested to choose foods that are thin and easy to digest, such as well-cooked noodles and congee. However, it is also important to avoid spicy and irritant foods, as well as certain triggering substances during this stage. Lastly, it is crucial to help the child develop good eating habits.
