Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that 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 will affect my health and work. Could you please tell me what the initial symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children are?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious infectious disease in infants and young children caused by enterovirus infection. In treatment, antiviral drugs such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used. Additionally, topical antibacterial ointments can be applied to prevent blisters from rupturing and becoming infected. Furthermore, medications such as transfer factor can be appropriately used to enhance the baby's immunity. Pay attention to hygiene, ensure proper disinfection and care, and prevent secondary or cross infections.
