Hand, foot, and mouth disease: Foods to avoid

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Hand, foot, and mouth disease manifests as an acute onset with fever; vesicles of rice grain size appear on the oral mucosa, causing significant pain; vesicles of rice grain size also appear on the palms or soles, and the buttocks or knees may occasionally be affected. In daily life, reduce the intake of high-fat foods and increase the consumption of vegetables and fruits. Maintain regular bowel movements and avoid spicy, irritating foods. Focus on soft, easily digestible foods. Eat small, frequent meals. Avoid sticky foods. Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late.
