Question

Can you eat meat with hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

During the treatment period for hand, foot, and mouth disease, the diet should focus on lightness and easy digestion. It is suggested to consume more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C to boost immunity. At the same time, avoid eating spicy, greasy, irritating, and hard-to-digest foods, including meat. Patients should follow their doctor’s advice, maintain a balanced diet, and ensure adequate water intake. Moreover, good oral hygiene should be maintained to reduce the possibility of bacterial infection.
