2. Oral care for children

Children may refuse to eat, drool, cry and stay awake due to oral pain. Keep your baby's mouth clean and rinse your mouth with saline before and after meals. For children who cannot rinse their mouths, you can use a cotton swab dipped in saline to gently clean their mouth.

Children's clothes and bedding should be clean, comfortable, soft, and changed frequently. Keep your nails short to prevent scratching the rash. In the early stages of a rash on the hands and feet, you can apply calamine lotion. When herpes forms or breaks, apply 0.5% iodine tincture.

It is better to eat light, warm, delicious, easily digestible, soft liquid or semi-liquid food. Avoid eating cold, spicy, salty and other irritating foods.
