Question
My son is 3 years old and has a slight sore throat, accompanied by a mild cough, and has been running a slight fever. What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to have a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements to help boost immunity. Choose easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles, drink plenty of plain water, eat less beef, mutton, dog meat, and other foods that may trigger inflammation. Seafood should also be avoided as much as possible. Parents should help their children develop good living habits, maintain regular schedules, engage in moderate exercise, improve immunity, and reduce the incidence of disease.
