Question
My son is 1 year old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and high fever. What are the dietary taboos for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is prone to inflammation, and it is recommended to consume a diet mainly consisting of light vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, thereby enhancing immunity. It is suggested to eat fruits such as pears, watermelons, tangerines, and pomegranates, as well as green leafy vegetables and tomatoes, and easily digestible foods like congee and cooked noodles. At the same time, it is advisable to avoid consuming irritants such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef and mutton. In addition to medical treatment, parents should help their children develop good dietary and living habits, which will help in recovery.
