What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and sore throat?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 8 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: What are the dietary taboos for tonsillitis and sore throat in children?

Doctor's answer:

While treating pediatric tonsillitis, diet also requires sufficient attention. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as many fruits have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and are rich in vitamins, which can help improve immunity and resist diseases. You can choose from pears, watermelon, honeydew, and pomegranates, among others. For vegetables, green leafy greens and tomatoes are excellent choices. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to opt for easily digestible options, such as congee or noodles. It is advised to drink plenty of water. Additionally, avoid or limit the consumption of foods (fattening foods) like mutton and dog meat. It is also important to help children correct their picky eating and food aversion habits to ensure comprehensive nutrient absorption.
