What can children eat after Mycoplasma infection?

Patient's question:

My child was feeling particularly unwell a while ago. I took him to the hospital to see a doctor for a check-up. The doctor said it was due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. I didn't understand what this disease was, so the doctor prescribed some medication for him and also asked me to pay attention to his diet.
What kind of help do I need: What should a child with Mycoplasma infection avoid eating?

Doctor's answer:

Initially, it presents as small, pale red papules, which gradually decrease in size while increasing in number, merging together. The surface is uneven, moist, and soft, appearing as papillomas, combs, grass-like, fungus-like, or cabbage-like elevations, red or dirty gray in color. The base is often pedunculated, and in some cases, recurrent oozing and easy skin breakdown may occur.
Depending on the cause, patients should consume more high-protein foods such as tofu, rice, flour, corn, peanuts, and chicken. However, not all high-protein foods are suitable for consumption, as some, like dog meat and mutton, can be harmful to patients. Patients may consider professional treatment methods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
