Question
My daughter is 8 years old and has been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent fever. I would like to ask: What foods should a child with tonsillitis and high fever avoid?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common disease, and during treatment, it’s important to provide vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrition and not irritating. For example, pears have the effects of reducing fever, soothing the throat, expectorating phlegm, and relieving pain. It’s best to choose soft foods for the main meals, such as congee or noodles. Additionally, it’s important to avoid spicy and irritating foods. Cultivating healthy eating habits, maintaining a regular lifestyle, and engaging in moderate exercise can aid in recovery.
