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. How should I treat the rash from hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The clinical manifestations primarily include fever, maculopapular and vesicular rashes on the oral cavity and extremities. In severe cases, it can lead to meningitis, encephalitis, encephalomyelitis, pulmonary edema, and circulatory disorders. The main causes of death are brainstem encephalitis and neurogenic pulmonary edema. Due to the highly contagious nature of the virus, it often causes outbreaks in childcare institutions. Symptomatic treatment can be administered, such as ribavirin for antiviral therapy. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
