My toddler is having HFMD and because of this, she has been refusing food and milk as she has ulcers on her tongue and mouth. What can I do?

For children over the age of 1, make sure they drink lots of liquids. If they refuse milk then consider making milk popsicles (breastmilk or formula - depends on which milk you're referring to). These cool pops will offer much needed relief to the pain and help get some nutrients in. If you have always given your child fruit juices such as orange juice, best to stop till your child gets better. Juices with high acidity may irritate the child’s mouth sores. Give soft foods like porridge and cereal, but don’t force your her to eat. At this stage, it’s important to make sure the child stays hydrated.
