Question
A 7-year-old boy has a sore throat when drinking water, and his voice is a bit hoarse. Now he has a high fever that doesn’t go away. What are the dietary precautions for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment of tonsillitis, it is necessary to arrange the child’s diet reasonably. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, enhancing immunity. Choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as pears, apples, tangerines, kiwis, etc. Avoid spicy and irritant food like hotpot, spicy dishes, beef and mutton, seafood, etc. Also, be mindful to avoid picky eating to maintain a balanced diet, enhance resistance, and prevent recurrence.
