Patient's question:
The child of my sister has small red rashes on their hands and feet, and there are also small red rashes on their buttocks. They went to the children's hospital for a thorough examination and were diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. I want to know if it's okay to eat eggs when you have hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
Infants with hand, foot, and mouth disease should avoid going out. Because children can be infected with the virus through hands, tooth cups, toys, utensils, dairy products, etc. Breastfeeding mothers should take frequent baths and change clothes, and wipe their nipples before breastfeeding. Develop good hygiene habits, wash your face before and after meals, do not drink raw water, and wear dry clothes and bedding frequently. If there is no low fever in hands, feet, and mouth, eggs can be eaten. Eggs are nutritious foods, but they contain high protein. Protein can enhance heat energy during digestion and absorption. If there is no low fever, it is even better. Eating eggs will produce a certain amount of extra heat, which will enhance the body's heat and alleviate fever symptoms. Drink more water regularly, pay attention to a light diet, and use water above 70 degrees to completely eliminate side effects. At the same time, pay attention to personal hygiene and wash your face before and after meals.
