Question
My son is 7 years old. He recently started complaining that drinking water hurts his throat, and I noticed that he has been coughing quite severely, and he’s been a bit feverish. What are the dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, it’s important to focus on eating fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins and trace elements, boost immunity, and accelerate recovery. For instance, tangerine peel is rich in vitamin C and has good anti-inflammatory properties. It’s recommended to choose easily digestible foods such as well-cooked porridge or noodles. Drink plenty of water and avoid consuming foods that may trigger inflammation, such as lamb or dog meat. Parents should cultivate good eating habits in their children, maintain hygiene and health, and avoid picky eating or dietary preferences.
