Question
Baby boy, just over 6 months old, has recently been experiencing a sore throat, hoarse voice, and a low-grade fever. What should be avoided when a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and consume plenty of vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in various vitamins and trace elements, which help to enhance immunity. It is suggested to choose foods like pears, apples, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes, focusing on light and easy-to-digest foods while avoiding spicy and irritant foods. Parents should pay attention to not allowing their children to be picky or have a biased diet to ensure a balanced nutrition and improve resistance, thereby preventing the recurrence of the disease.
