Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 3 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever. The child’s tonsillitis is causing difficulty in swallowing. What dietary taboos should we avoid?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustments. It is suggested to have the child consume fresh vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which help improve immunity and fight off diseases. It is recommended to choose fruits that are neutral in nature and rich in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. At the same time, opt for easily digestible foods like porridge or cooked noodles. Parents should also avoid giving the child spicy and irritant foods, and cultivate good eating habits.
