Question
My child recently contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. There are blisters on their hands and feet, and inside their mouth as well. They have intermittent low-grade fever and seem a bit listless. They have no appetite for anything. I was thinking of giving them something they usually dislike. Do I need to restrict their diet for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hello, based on the situation you described: Children infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease should have timely symptomatic treatment and control according to specific symptoms. It’s better to pay attention to dietary hygiene and make adjustments. It’s advisable to eat less spicy and irritating foods and to avoid giving children snacks. It’s better to observe their specific symptoms and make adjustments after a period of time.
