Patient's question:
Child is 5 years old today with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Besides medication, are there other methods? Treatment history and effectiveness: Just diagnosed at the hospital today. Desired help: The hospital said to take medicine at home; I am very worried.Doctor's answer:
Considering hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is an intestinal viral disease with an incubation period of generally 3-7 days and no obvious prodromal symptoms: most patients develop symptoms suddenly. It primarily affects the hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks. There is usually no pain or itching, and no scars remain after healing. The disease may not recur in all four areas in the same patient. Blisters and rashes typically resolve within a week. The treatment usually includes the following points. Pay attention to isolation to prevent cross-infection and pay attention to oral care.
