Question
What should hand, foot, and mouth disease patients pay attention to in their diet? What foods are beneficial for the condition?
Answer
For patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, and to base the diet on liquid or semi-liquid foods. Since the blisters in the mouth can cause pain and affect eating, it is advisable to avoid giving children spicy and irritating foods as well as those that may cause bloating. This helps to relieve oral discomfort and promote recovery from the disease.
