Diet therapy to prevent hand, foot and mouth disease

We all know that hand, foot and mouth disease is a common infectious disease caused by a variety of enteroviruses. It mainly occurs in infants and young children, especially babies under 4 years old. My baby had hand, foot and mouth disease earlier. He was coughing and drooling, didn't want to eat, and had some small blisters in his throat. Do we have any dietary therapy to prevent hand, foot and mouth disease?

1. Diet therapy for hand, foot and mouth disease:

1. 1 carrot, 15g Imperata root, 1 section of bamboo sugarcane, 15g raw coix seed, 1 dose per day, decocted in water instead of tea.

2. 5 bunches of rush, 3g of cicada shell, 1 flower of kapok, 10g of chicken bone grass, 50g of lean pork, boil into soup and drink.

3. Lotus leaf porridge: 2 fresh lotus leaves, 50 grams of white rice. Chop the lotus leaves and cook them into porridge.

The above dosages are for one child aged 3 to 6 years old. The dosage can be increased or decreased according to the age.

2. What foods are good for the body when it comes to hand, foot and mouth disease?

Stage 1: Early stage of the disease. Mouthache and loss of appetite. Dietary tips: Mainly liquid foods such as milk, soy milk, rice soup, egg drop soup, etc. Eat small meals frequently to maintain basic nutritional needs. To reduce mouth pain when eating, the food should be neither too hot nor too cold, and neither too salty nor too sour. Here is a little trick - use a straw to reduce the contact between food and oral mucosa.

Stage 2: Fever subsides. Mouth pain relieved. The diet is mainly mushy food. Example: Milk banana paste. Milk provides high-quality protein; bananas are easy to make into a paste and are rich in carbohydrates, carotene and pectin, which can provide heat energy, vitamins, and have a laxative effect.

Phase 3: Recovery period. Eat more meals. The quantity doesn't need to be too much, but the nutrition should be high. For example, add a small amount of chopped vegetables, chopped tofu, chopped mushrooms, etc. to the egg custard. Resume normal diet in about ten days. There is also a saying "all vegetarian, no meat or fish". A completely vegetarian diet, excluding nutrients such as milk and eggs, will not provide adequate nutritional quality as it lacks high-quality protein. Antibodies are a type of protein, so a completely vegetarian diet is not appropriate.

3. What foods should not be eaten for hand, foot and mouth disease:

1. Avoid eating cold, spicy, sour, salty and other irritating foods.

2. During the treatment, you should be careful not to eat fish, shrimp or crab.

Hand, foot and mouth disease is very rampant now. In order to avoid it, you must pay attention to these dietary therapy methods to prevent hand, foot and mouth disease. We should remember to wash our hands before meals and after defecation, keep the classrooms in school ventilated, go to the hospital for treatment immediately if we feel anything is wrong, and eat foods that can prevent hand, foot and mouth disease, so that our family members will not be in a panic if we get hand, foot and mouth disease. I wish you all good health!
