A recent study debunked the belief that severe cases of enterovirus are related to high blood sugar levels caused by consuming sweet foods. The Taiwan Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society recommends feeding children with enterovirus symptoms like mouth ulcers and poor appetite with pudding, ice cream, or cold drinks to alleviate discomfort and prevent dehydration. The association clarified that severe cases with high blood sugar levels are due to the virus affecting the brain and causing inflammation, not from consuming sweets excessively. It is crucial to monitor children's vital signs during enterovirus infections and seek medical advice rather than restrict sweet intake to avoid dehydration and extended hospital stays.
