Question
What should a child eat after a wrist fracture to promote recovery?
Answer
After a fracture, children should consume a diet rich in light, nutritious foods such as lean meat, pork ribs, shrimp shells, fish and shrimp, eggs, milk, and beans. They should also eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, especially those high in vitamin C, which can aid in wound healing. Additionally, they should avoid spicy and sugary foods, and quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Fracture patients should also eat vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as green peppers, tomatoes, spinach, green leafy vegetables, cabbage, and carrots, as well as foods high in protein, vitamins, and trace elements, especially those high in calcium content.
