Question
What are the dietary precautions for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease should pay attention to eating more light foods such as vegetables and fruits. They should avoid spicy, pickled, fried, and irritating foods like chili, beef, and mutton, as these may increase the risk of recurrence of the disease. At the same time, monitor body temperature; if there is no fever, recovery generally takes about one to two weeks.
