Patient's question:
The child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. They previously had a high fever and received injections for several days. Now, there are no red spots on their body, and they no longer have a fever, but they are experiencing diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and a lack of appetite. They have taken Smecta and probiotics for three days, but there hasn’t been much improvement. What could be the reason? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
I am unaware of the specific medication the child is taking for hand, foot, and mouth disease. Considering the recurrence of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and poor appetite, it may be a side effect of the medication.Recommendations:
- Prepare some appetite-stimulating foods for the child.
- For severe nausea and vomiting, oral rehydration salts or intravenous fluids can be used to help digest fluids.
- For mild cases, focus on taking Smecta and oral digestive tablets.
