Patient's question:
In January of this year, my baby got hand, foot, and mouth disease and was hospitalized for treatment for a week. After recovering, it seems that his constitution hasn't been as strong as before. Now, if he has a fever of 39 degrees, he will have convulsions, which has scared my family. He has been hospitalized three times already, and my baby is still in the hospital now. I don't know what to do anymore.Doctor's answer:
Once it is discovered that the baby is infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease, the baby should seek medical attention promptly, avoid contact with the outside world, and generally need to be isolated for 2 weeks. Items used by the baby should be thoroughly disinfected: those that can be soaked can be immersed in chlorine-containing disinfectant solutions, while those that cannot be soaked can be placed in the sun for exposure. The baby's room should be regularly opened for ventilation to maintain fresh and circulating air, with a suitable temperature. Families that have the conditions can use lactic acid fumigation daily for air disinfection. Reduce the number of people entering and leaving the baby's room, prohibit smoking to prevent the air from becoming dirty, and avoid secondary infections.
