Question

What types of foods should children with brain injuries eat?

Answer

For children with brain injuries, it is recommended to eat light, easily digestible foods and avoid greasy or hard foods. Additionally, a diet rich in protein, calories, and vitamins should be provided to help with wound healing and physical recovery. For patients who have difficulty drinking water or swallowing, semi-liquid or liquid diets can be offered. During the acute phase, patients need to rest in bed completely and perform appropriate limb exercises to prevent falls and other accidents. At the same time, the room should be kept quiet and clean to ensure that the patient gets enough rest, and communication with the patient should be increased to alleviate their anxiety.
