Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially experienced a slight pain in his throat, noticed difficulty in swallowing, and seemed to have a persistent low fever. What dietary taboos should be observed for children with tonsillitis-related throat pain?
Answer
Children are prone to tonsillitis, and it is recommended to make vegetables and fruits the main part of the diet. Consume foods rich in vitamins and trace elements, such as pears, apples, green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes. Choose easily digestible foods like noodles and congee. Avoid seafood and dog meat, which are considered irritants. Engage in moderate exercise and cultivate good living habits.
