Children can properly eat fruits rich in vitamin C after stitches, which is conducive to wound healing, and also need to supplement protein-rich food.
Vitamin C can promote the formation of collagen fibers, which is conducive to scar formation and wound healing. Vitamin C-rich fruits include kiwis, lemons, oranges, etc. Although these fruits are rich in vitamin C, consuming too much of them at one time will also put an excessive burden on the gastrointestinal tract of children, potentially causing diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
In addition to supplementing vitamins through fruits, supplementing proteins is also beneficial for children’s physical recovery. Soy products are rich in vegetable protein, and meat, eggs and milk contain high quality animal protein. These foods can enrich the child’s nutrition and promote recovery, but at the same time, be careful not to eat too much.
