What foods should be avoided with hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

The baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is said that attention should be paid to diet. I want to know, what should not be eaten with hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

If a child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, they will typically exhibit symptoms such as fever, nausea, and the recurrence of blisters on the palms or soles of the feet. These blisters will cause a noticeable sensation of pain and require a hospital diagnosis for hand, foot, and mouth disease. If there is no fever, oral medication can be administered for treatment. However, if symptoms such as high fever appear, it is necessary to seek hospitalization for treatment.
When a child is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is important to maintain a light diet and consume more plant-based high-protein foods. Fatty foods, meat, and spicy foods should be avoided.
