Question

A child recently experienced symptoms such as mouth pain, loss of appetite, and low fever, and small blisters were found on the hands, feet, and oral cavity. The hospital diagnosed the condition as hand, foot, and mouth disease. The child usually consumes one egg per day. Can children with hand, foot, and mouth disease eat eggs?

Answer

Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease have no specific dietary restrictions and can consume eggs. Parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and take appropriate preventive measures to avoid other health issues. At the same time, they should regularly monitor the child’s body temperature, maintain good hygiene habits, and undergo antiviral treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If necessary, blood routine tests should be conducted, and medication should be adjusted according to medical instructions.
