Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work.How should I handle it if my child has hand, foot, and mouth disease and isn't eating or drinking?
Doctor's answer:
The baby definitely has oral herpes, which causes pain when eating, leading to a lack of appetite. It is recommended to let the baby drink some porridge and actively undergo antiviral treatment. There are many causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If the child is confirmed to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
