Patient's question:
The baby is almost one year old. Last week, she got hand, foot, and mouth disease. There were small white spots in her mouth, and drinking milk or water was extremely painful. She cried and screamed uncontrollably. Red spots appeared on her body and hands and feet. She finally recovered, but after 7 days, it recurred again. During this time, we have been very careful in taking care of the child. What should we do if hand, foot, and mouth disease recurs after 7 days?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has many complications, so early treatment is crucial. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is highly contagious, so avoid crowded places during the illness. Additionally, do not take baths to prevent infections. In terms of diet, consume light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy and foods.
