Question
What dietary precautions should be taken when a child has tonsillitis and a high fever?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common disease that requires timely treatment. During the treatment period, feeding children vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins can help boost their immunity, such as pears and apples which have cooling and anti-inflammatory effects. Opt for easily digestible foods like congee, soft noodles, and dumpling wrappers. Avoid consuming foods that may trigger wind-heat, such as beef, mutton, poultry eggs, seafood, and also avoid spicy and irritating foods like spicy hotpot. Diet plays a key role in the treatment of tonsillitis, so it is essential to pay attention to dietary adjustments.
