Patient's question:
My nephew has developed small bumps on his hands, and a friend told me it's hand, foot, and mouth disease. I want to ask if it's okay to eat fish with hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
This disease is generally more prevalent in summer, and during the onset, it can easily lead to dehydration and electrolyte disorders, requiring appropriate hydration and nutrition. Recently, due to the weather, this disease has been occurring frequently. Early childhood is a critical period for physical growth and development, making prevention of this disease urgent. When selecting ingredients for children's meals, the criteria should be easy to chew, easy to digest, and balanced in nature. There should be a scientific combination between main and side dishes, as well as between meat and vegetables.It is recommended to feed children warm, sweet, easily digestible, and soft liquid or semi-liquid foods. Cold, spicy, and salty foods should be avoided. It is advisable to consume more carbohydrates and plant fibers while limiting high-fat and high-oil foods. Of course, since Western medical theory cannot address such vague terms, using less salt can also be considered a (light meal). Try to consume less meat.
