What are the dietary considerations for Kawasaki disease?

What are the dietary requirements for Kawasaki disease? In fact, we also need to pay special attention to diet after suffering from the disease, let alone children. Babies with Kawasaki disease should pay attention to a light, easily digestible, high-protein diet. Supplement the baby with vitamins and balance the diet. Do not eat spicy food. The following is a detailed summary of what children with Kawasaki disease should eat and the dietary therapy methods for Kawasaki disease.

1. Eggs Eggs have a great effect on the nervous system and physical development. The choline contained in them can improve memory in all age groups. The protein in eggs can repair liver tissue damage, and the lecithin in the yolk can promote the regeneration of liver cells. It can also increase the amount of plasma protein in the human body and enhance the body's metabolic and immune functions.

2. Light and easily digestible food. In the early stage of Kawasaki disease, children have long-term repeated high fever and fever reduction, serious loss of vitamins in the body, and obvious negative nitrogen balance. Therefore, they should be given nutritious, light and easily digestible food.

3. Supplement high protein. If your baby has Kawasaki disease, you should supplement high protein appropriately (please consult a doctor if you have kidney damage), such as poultry and fish. You can also supplement with vitamin complex tablets and balance your diet.

4. Fruits and vegetables Children with Kawasaki disease can eat more fruits and vegetables (if they have weak spleen and stomach, please eat in moderation). During the acute attack period, eat a small amount of liquid food frequently, and if necessary, supplement with sufficient nutrients to improve the body's disease resistance and restore health as soon as possible. Eat and rest regularly, emphasize rest, and be sure to have regular checkups.
