Question

What are the dietary taboo for children with tonsillitis and sore throat?

Answer

During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to consume a light diet, eating plenty of vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrients and help boost immunity. For example, the vitamin C in tangerine peel has anti-inflammatory properties. For staple foods, opt for soft and fine ones such as congee or noodles to avoid affecting swallowing or worsening the condition. At this stage, avoid eating foods that are prone to cause allergies such as beef, mutton, poultry eggs, and seafood. Also, avoid spicy foods and other irritant food. Diet is crucial in the treatment of tonsillitis, so be sure to pay attention to dietary adjustments.
