What dietary taboos should be avoided for children with tonsillitis and fever?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts to swallow things, and he noticed it, coughing quite severely. It also seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: what are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and fever?

Doctor's answer:

If a child suffers from tonsillitis, seeking medical attention immediately is very necessary. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to giving their child more vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, and they are relatively light in flavor, so they are very helpful in the treatment of the disease. For example, fruits like pears and apples have the effects of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, so they can be eaten more. Daily diet should also be easily digestible and easy to swallow, so it is recommended to mainly consume porridge and noodles. The noodles must be cooked to be soft and fine, and it is also important to drink plenty of plain water. Red meat such as beef and mutton, and dog meat should be eaten less, and seafood is best to be eaten less or not at all. While maintaining a proper diet, it is also important not to be picky or have a preference for food, to avoid nutritional deficiencies and low resistance, which may lead to recurrence.
