Hand, foot and mouth disease cough

Hand, foot and mouth disease usually causes a slight fever at first, and parents may mistakenly think it is a fever. In fact, this symptom is similar to a fever, but it is not a fever because during the fever process, many red rashes will quickly appear on the tongue, palms, soles of the feet, etc. These small red rashes are not very large, but they are itchy and painful, and can cause children to become drowsy and always want to sleep. Severe cases can cause coughing.

Diet and health care

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 tip - 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.
