Question
What kind of food is better for a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
For hand, foot, and mouth disease, as there is no specific effective treatment, the main approach is to focus on general supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be attempted, as Chinese herbs may have some efficacy in alleviating symptoms and shortening the course of the disease. In terms of diet, it is recommended to provide easily digestible and nutrient-rich foods such as liquid or semi-liquid foods. Oily and spicy foods, as well as irritant beverages, should be avoided. Additionally, ensure adequate fluid intake to replenish body fluids promptly.
