Patient's question:
Children need to drink a glass of fresh milk every day, which has become a habit for him over the past two years. If he doesn't drink it, he feels uncomfortable. My child now has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Can children with hand, foot, and mouth disease drink milk? Do children with hand, foot, and mouth disease need to avoid certain foods?Doctor's answer:
Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease can drink milk. When children have hand, foot, and mouth disease, due to the presence of blisters in the mouth, it can easily cause them to experience pain again. Therefore, it is recommended to provide children with a light diet. Acidic and overly salty foods should be avoided for the time being, as they can easily lead to pain in the oral area again. During the child's illness, pay attention to the digestion of nutrients to help the child build a strong resistance to fight the disease.
