Patient's question:
The baby got hand, foot, and mouth disease from kindergarten these past two days. Hello, what should I eat if my mouth hurts from hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is more common in infants and preschool children, caused by enterovirus transmission, and is contagious. It can occur anywhere on the body, with the mouth, palms, and soles being the most common sites. When the mouth is affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, pain symptoms may reappear, interfering with the child's bowel movements. Antiviral and heat-clearing and detoxifying medications can be taken, and mouthwashes can be used to rinse the face, which can reduce pain symptoms and maintain oral hygiene. Drinking plenty of water is recommended, along with vegetable and fruit juices, as well as light, easily digestible foods.
