What can children with hand, foot, and mouth disease eat?

Patient's question:

The condition has occurred again for 2 days. There are accompanying blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth of the baby, which are occasionally not noticed. On the third day, the blisters on the feet became larger and grew a bit more. The doctor said it's hand, foot, and mouth disease and needs timely treatment. What should children with hand, foot, and mouth disease eat?

Doctor's answer:

For children with hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is advisable to consume light, liquid, or semi-liquid foods. Noodles, such as this type of noodle food, porridge, rice porridge, steamed buns, rice, and green vegetables are all good options. Parents should also pay attention to preventing the child from eating high-protein foods, drinks, fruits, greasy foods, as well as dry and hard foods that are difficult to digest. In daily diet, the child should eat less greasy, dry-heat, and hard-to-digest foods to avoid "gut fatigue." Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
