Patient's question:
A boy is 3 years old. After getting sick, taking medicine didn't help much, and he is still uncomfortable. Please ask: What are the general symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The clinical symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, fatigue, reduced appetite, and mouth pain. In severe cases, patients may develop red rashes around the mouth, on the body, hands, and buttocks. When symptoms worsen, patients may experience convulsions in the limbs, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. It is recommended that parents take their children to a formal hospital for a thorough examination to facilitate diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular sleep schedule, take precautions against cold and warmth, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
