Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please tell me how long hand, foot, and mouth disease is contagious and how to disinfect?Doctor's answer:
Hello, children suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease need to take antiviral medication promptly. It is recommended to use intravenous infusion or oral Ribavirin, Qingkailing, or Banlangen for treatment. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, fever-reducing medication should be taken; otherwise, physical cooling methods should be used, along with increased fluid intake, isolation treatment, and measures to prevent cross-infection.There are many causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have the condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating or cold foods.
