Question
My daughter is 1 year old, and recently when she speaks, her voice is hoarse, and she has a slight fever. What dietary restrictions should be noted when a child has tonsillitis and a fever?
Answer
While treating a child’s tonsillitis, dietary considerations are also crucial. It is recommended to consume more fruits and vegetables, which are rich in nutrients and help boost the immune system. For instance, tangerine peel is rich in vitamin C, which is beneficial for inflammation. The diet should consist of easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles, and spicy or irritant foods should be avoided. Additionally, helping the child develop good eating habits and avoiding picky eating can contribute to comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
