Introduction
In general, infants and young children can drink适量 (an appropriate amount of) apple juice, pear juice, orange juice, grape juice, and watermelon juice during episodes of infantile急疹 (exanthema subitum). These juices help replenish the body with fluids and nutrients. In addition, when giving juice to infants and young children, it should be well-diluted to reduce the sugar concentration. Avoid juices with high acidity and strong irritation, such as lemon juice and hawthorn juice.

Generally, infants and young children can moderately drink apple juice, pear juice, orange juice, grape juice, watermelon juice, etc. during exanthema subitum, as these juices can replenish body fluids and nutrients. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Apple Juice

Apple juice is mild in nature, rich in water and vitamins, and is easily digested and absorbed by infants' gastrointestinal tract. Infants may experience a slight decrease in appetite during exanthema subitum. The sour-sweet taste of apple juice can stimulate the taste buds while replenishing fluids and preventing dehydration without imposing additional burden on the gastrointestinal tract, making it suitable for consumption.

2. Pear Juice

Pear juice has moisturizing properties and contains abundant water and dietary fiber. Some infants may experience discomfort such as dry throat during exanthema subitum. Pear juice can relieve dry throat, and its mild properties are also suitable for infants with weaker gastrointestinal function. Drinking pear juice can help replenish fluids and promote body metabolism, making it a suitable choice.

3. Orange Juice

Orange juice is rich in vitamin C, providing nutritional support for infants. During exanthema subitum, infants need to replenish energy, and the nutrients in orange juice can meet some of these needs. Its sour-sweet taste can also improve appetite. However, it should be diluted before consumption to avoid excessive acidity irritating the gastrointestinal tract, so moderate consumption is recommended.

4. Grape Juice

Grape juice contains water and various nutrients, has a sweet and refreshing taste, and is easily accepted by infants. Drinking grape juice during exanthema subitum can replenish fluids and provide nutrition. Its mild nature will not irritate the infant's gastrointestinal tract, making it a suitable beverage choice during exanthema subitum.

5. Watermelon Juice

Watermelon juice has a high water content and a refreshing taste. Infants may have fever during exanthema subitum, during which the body easily loses fluids. Watermelon juice can quickly replenish fluids and help relieve thirst. Its refreshing taste can make infants feel comfortable. However, moderation is important to avoid excessive intake causing gastrointestinal discomfort, so it is suitable for consumption.

In addition, when giving juice to infants, it should be well diluted to reduce sugar concentration; avoid juices with high acidity and strong irritation, such as lemon juice and hawthorn juice. If infants have underlying conditions such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, consult a healthcare professional before consumption. Also, juice cannot replace breast milk or formula, and regular food intake should still be ensured daily.
