Question
My 2-year-old and 8-month-old baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease and is in their third day. I would like to inquire about suitable dietary suggestions.
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease typically resolves on its own, but the patient’s diet should be light and easy to digest, avoiding spicy and acidic foods. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and monitor the baby’s spirits. If symptoms such as poor spirits appear, medical attention should be sought promptly. Moreover, during the illness period, it’s important to show extra care and attention to the baby’s diet to aid in a quick recovery.
