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-up didn't help. Could it be hand, foot, and mouth disease with red spots and itching on the soles of the feet?Doctor's answer:
Hello, consider hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be treated with symptomatic therapy using antiviral drugs. It is important to adhere to the treatment course, which generally lasts three to five days. Regular follow-up is necessary, along with drinking plenty of water and taking proper isolation and protective measures to prevent transmission.There are multiple causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have the disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let their children develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
