Patient's question:
Suffered from hand, foot, and mouth disease for two days, no fever, some small bumps on hands and feet, coughing, can I eat dumplings with ginger water?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common respiratory illness primarily caused by viral infection. It is best to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as foods that are considered "heating" in traditional Chinese medicine. Also, avoid eating dumplings with ginger. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and diet, wash hands frequently, and maintain good hygiene for the skin and oral cavity. Oral administration of oseltamivir granules may be helpful. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. If a mother notices symptoms in her child, she should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's dietary needs. It is advised to maintain a balanced diet to ensure proper nutrition. We hope the child can receive professional treatment and recover quickly!
