Can I Eat Mung Bean Paste Buns on the Fourth Day of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?

Question

On the fourth day of hand, foot, and mouth disease, besides many red spots on my hands, a few have slightly cracked. Can I eat mung bean paste buns?

Answer

Hand, foot, and mouth disease refers to the recurrence of blisters on the hands, feet, buttocks, and oral cavity, usually accompanied by fever. It is most commonly caused by viral infection, with a small number of severe cases involving bacterial infection. Those with hand, foot, and mouth disease should have a urine test to check for bacterial or viral infections or mycoplasma. Medication should be used according to the test results. If the urine test indicates a severe infection, hospitalization for careful observation and intravenous fluid treatment is required. A light diet is recommended, with soft and easily digestible foods. Oral blisters can be treated with children’s throat spray, and mung bean paste buns can be eaten. Children are vulnerable to hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents must take their children to see a doctor promptly for treatment and avoid using unapproved drugs blindly. Proper medication is necessary.
