Patient's question:
The baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease. They don't want to eat. When they eat dinner, they walk unsteadily. In just a few days, they've lost over two pounds. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You don't need to worry. When a child is recovering from an illness, they might not have much appetite. It's recommended to soak hawthorn in water for the child, or give them some children's digestive tablets. Encourage them to eat easily digestible porridge, vegetables, or fruits. It will improve in a few days. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. If parents notice any symptoms in their child, they should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, they should pay close attention to the child's care. It's advised to have a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect them. We hope the child can receive symptomatic treatment and recover quickly!
