Patient's question:
The boy is three and a half years old.Condition:
1. Over the past two days, many red blisters have appeared on his hands, feet, and mouth. Yesterday, more blisters appeared on his feet, and today, similar blisters have also appeared on his hands and throat. However, he is not feverish and is otherwise normal.
2. Since he was two years old, he has been snoring loudly at night and breathing poorly. I am worried that he might be lacking nutrition, which could affect his brain development.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child has hand, foot, and mouth disease and needs to take antiviral medication promptly. It is recommended to receive intravenous or oral Ribavirin, Qingkailing, or Banlangen treatment. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, fever-reducing medication should be taken; otherwise, physical cooling methods should be used. The child should drink more water, undergo isolation treatment, and prevent cross-infection.
