My son might be getting osteosarcoma, is there anything special I need to pay attention to? What kind of medicine can be applied? I don't know if some medications will affect the child. If so, is there anything I need to pay attention to?Past treatment history and effectiveness: There have been many more blisters recently, what should I do? What kind of help would you like: Is there any ointment that can reduce swelling and relieve pain?
Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious childhood illness, also known as eruptive vesicular stomatitis. It frequently occurs in children under the age of 5 and can cause blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. In rare cases, it may lead to complications such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, or aseptic meningitis and encephalitis. In some severe cases, if the condition progresses rapidly, it may be life-threatening. The main clinical symptoms are blisters or ulcers that form on the skin, hands, feet, and mouth after the blisters rupture. It is important to closely monitor the child's condition—does the child have rashes on their body and other discomfort symptoms?Medical advice: Generally, topical medications are not used for rashes caused by this disease. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, follow the doctor's instructions for medication, and rest in bed. Chinese herbal medicine may be taken if necessary.
