Question

What are the dietary restrictions when a child has tonsillitis?

Answer

During the treatment of tonsillitis, diet is very important. It is recommended to feed children more vegetables and fruits as these foods help to clear heat and detoxify, are rich in vitamins, and boost immunity. It is suggested to choose fruits with a neutral taste and high in vitamins, such as tangerines and kiwis. Daily meals should be easy to digest, with porridge and noodles being the main options, and the noodles should be cooked until soft. It is advisable to avoid eating stimulating spicy foods like spicy hotpot and hotpot, as well as beef, mutton, seafood, and other foods. These may worsen symptoms and be harmful to the child’s health, so parents should assist their children in receiving proper treatment.
