Patient's question:
It's pomegranate season now, and my baby loves it very much. But he has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Can he eat pomegranates?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection, often recurring with blisters on the bones, mouth, buttocks, and other areas. It may also be accompanied by intestinal inflammation, with symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Due to its certain level of transmissibility, active treatment should be implemented. During this period, it is recommended to drink more water and consume grapefruits. Eating more fruits and vegetables helps in the complete recovery from the disease. At the same time, pay attention to rest and prevent cross-infection.
