Question
What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis who often have a fever?
Answer
It is recommended that parents take their children to receive treatment promptly if they have tonsillitis. In terms of diet, it is suggested to eat lightly and consume plenty of vegetables and fruits, such as pears, which have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, resolving phlegm, and alleviating pain, thus helping to ease the discomfort caused by acute tonsillitis. Daily meals should be light and easy to digest, such as congee and noodles, and it is also advisable to eat less of certain foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef or mutton. Parents should help their children develop good eating habits, maintain hygiene and health, and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
