In principle, there is no contraindication for patients with HFMD. During the period when HFMD patients do not have sore throat, their digestive function is still fine and all common foods can be eaten. However, most children with HFMD have sore throat, so they should avoid eating spicy and stimulating food, such as more chili peppers, or dry snacks with more salt, which will obviously stimulate the ulcer surface of the throat when swallowing, leading to sore throat symptoms. The vast majority of children with hand, foot and mouth disease, as long as there is a sore throat, these foods are not eaten, so you should eat lighter foods at this time. In addition, it is easier to digest. Children with HFMD who do not have severe symptoms and whose appetite suppression is not too obvious are likely to be able to eat large fish and meat and have a great appetite. However, if there is a more pronounced fever at this time, which has a slight effect on appetite, then these foods of large fish and meat are likely to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract of the affected child, leading to indigestion. So it’s best to eat more easily digestible foods at this time, and then let the child eat these more nutritious ones after the condition has completely healed.
