Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my baby is two years old this year and has hand, foot, and mouth disease. She has been hospitalized for two weeks and still hasn't recovered. I would like to ask the doctor how long it usually takes for hand, foot, and mouth disease to heal? What should my baby pay attention to now? Especially in terms of diet, what is good for her to eat?Doctor's answer:
Normal recovery takes about half a month, but the severity of infection and individual physical fitness vary, leading to differences in recovery time. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can switch to a new batch of anti-inflammatory medication. In terms of diet, it should be light and avoid spicy, extremely cold, or other stimulating foods. Also, avoid foods that are considered "heating" such as chives, eggs, and seafood. Instead, consume more porridge-like liquid foods.
