Question
My daughter is 8 years old and has a sore throat and a fever, with a hoarse voice. Are there any dietary restrictions for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis in children requires timely treatment, and developing the habit of eating more fruits and vegetables can help boost immunity. For instance, pears are a good choice as they have fever-reducing, throat-soothing, expectorant, and pain-relieving properties, which can alleviate the discomfort of acute tonsillitis. It is recommended to eat easily digestible foods like congee and noodles, and to avoid irritant foods such as spicy hotpot, hotpot, etc. If there are complications with pediatric tonsillitis that affect health, parents should assist in proper treatment.
