Patient's question:
Initially, the child had a fever, a runny nose, and a slight cough! Then, there were ulcers on the tongue! Gradually, there were also a few small red spots on the hands and feet! We got the child IV fluids for two days at the local health clinic! Now, the mouth pain is especially severe! The child can't eat! There are many red spots on the buttocks! There are also red spots on the legs! Is this a sign of a serious illness?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can take antiviral medications such as virazole and viramidine. If you have a fever, you can use some traditional Chinese medicine to clear heat and detoxify. Hand, foot, and mouth disease may be combined with conditions such as myocarditis, encephalitis, and meningitis. Symptomatic treatment should be administered in a timely manner. There are many factors that can cause hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
