Question
Can a 5-year-old with hand, foot, and mouth disease eat rice, noodles, wheat, or oats?
Answer
Based on your description, your child’s hand, foot, and mouth disease appears to be primarily caused by a viral infection. It is recommended to ensure adequate rest and consider using ribavirin, Qingkailing granules, and undergoing routine blood tests. It is appropriate to eat a light diet. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children. If any symptoms are detected in your child, it is important to seek treatment at a regular hospital promptly. Pay close attention to your child’s care issues. It is suggested to consume more light foods and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. We hope your child can receive effective treatment and recover!
