Question
An eight-month-old child is currently in the third day of hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should be paid attention to in terms of diet?
Answer
During the hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is recommended to provide light and easily digestible liquid or semi-liquid foods. Avoid consuming cold or irritating foods. At the same time, ensure the child has adequate rest and encourage them to drink plenty of water. Closely monitor any changes in the condition, particularly changes in body temperature. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children’s health, so it is advisable for parents to take their child to a specialized hospital for diagnosis and treatment. In daily life, provide the child with sufficient love and care, especially in terms of diet, hoping that the child can recover soon.
