Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is one year old and has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Is it treatable? It was just discovered that there are many blisters on his hands. Treatment history and effectiveness: took anti-inflammatory medicine at home, Cefixime. What help do you want: I want to ask you, is it necessary to go to the hospital for an examination?Doctor's answer:
Does your child also have recurrent blisters in their mouth, like white bubbles similar to blisters? It is recommended to visit the hospital for a thorough examination. Please provide detailed medical records and relevant test results to receive targeted guidance. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection, and the virus is self-limiting, typically healing within about 7 days. However, it relies on the child's immune system to fight the virus.In terms of care, offer plenty of plain water. Avoid high-calorie, high-protein foods (which are not beneficial for fever reduction) and opt for light, easily digestible meals (such as congee or noodles). Clean the mouth twice a day. If mouth ulcers reappear, apply oral spray or Yangyin Shengji powder to the affected area.
