Dietary Precautions During Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

Question

What should be noted about diet during hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

During the treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease, a light diet should be the main focus, with small meals spaced out throughout the day. It is recommended to let children eat with a straw to minimize contact between food and the oral mucosa. Additionally, avoid giving cold, spicy, sour, and salty foods that may irritate. Furthermore, actively cooperate with the doctor for antiviral treatment and take appropriate isolation measures to prevent the spread of the disease to other children.
