What should a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease eat?
Answer
For children with hand, foot, and mouth disease, their diet should primarily consist of light, liquid, or semi-liquid foods. This includes foods like noodles, porridge, rice gruel, buns, rice, and green vegetables. Parents should also be cautious to prevent the child from consuming high-protein foods, drinks, fruits, greasy foods, as well as hard-to-digest or difficult-to-absorb foods. In daily meals, children should eat less greasy, hot, and difficult-to-digest food to avoid gastrointestinal fatigue. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
