Question
A 28-week-old child has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease with a fever of about 5 degrees. However, since the mouth is full of blisters and there is no appetite, what should be done?
Answer
Patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease need to maintain a light diet, choosing vegetables, fruits, or millet congee. It is recommended to feed them easily digestible high-calorie foods, drink plenty of water, consume more fruits and vegetables, and regularly rinse the child’s mouth with warm water. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. Once parents notice their child’s symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for a diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child’s dietary issues and suggest appropriate eating habits to avoid cold foods. It is hoped that the child can receive professional treatment and recover!
