Patient's question:
My daughter first had small bubbles in her mouth, hands, and buttocks, but she didn't have a high fever. Hello doctor, is this serious?Treatment history and effectiveness: The doctor at the hospital prescribed some medicine and said to go home and wait and see. It's a mild illness. What kind of help do you need: I want to know, is this really not very serious? How should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. It is primarily spread through the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and close contact. Clinical diagnosis mainly manifests as fever, maculopapular rashes, and blisters on the mouth and extremities. It is highly contagious.What about your child? Since they only have rashes without a fever, it proves that the level of contagion is not severe, so please rest assured. They should get proper rest, wash their hands frequently, ensure good ventilation, maintain a light diet, take good care of their oral and skin health, and drink plenty of water to enhance toxin metabolism. Many antiviral medications can be used.
Closely monitor any changes in their condition.
