What are the dietary restrictions for children with tonsillitis and fever?

Patient's question:

My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that her voice was a bit hoarse. Moreover, she's been slightly feverish. I'd like to ask: what are the dietary restrictions for a child with tonsillitis and fever?

Doctor's answer:

While treating pediatric tonsillitis, dietary attention is also equally important. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, as they are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively boost children's immunity. For example, the peels of mandarins, which are rich in vitamin C, have excellent anti-inflammatory properties. In daily meals, easily digestible foods should be chosen, such as porridge, noodles, and similar dishes. Meanwhile, parents should also pay attention not to let children eat spicy or greasy foods. Additionally, it is important to help children develop healthy eating habits, avoiding picky eating or food preferences, so that they can obtain comprehensive nutrition and reduce the incidence of tonsillitis.
