Patient's question:
My child was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease a few weeks ago. The child has been scratching a lot, with some areas becoming red. I'm not sure how it was triggered. The doctor said that intravenous fluids would help the child recover gradually, but it's also important to prevent it. What good habits should children have when they get hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
First, hand, foot, and mouth disease is related to poor hygiene habits, etc. It is caused by a viral infection. After being diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, oral medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. If it is severe, intravenous drip treatment may be required! Wash children's hands frequently, pay attention to their hygiene, and do not take them to crowded places. Try not to be picky about food and eat more vegetables and fruits. Prevention of hand, foot, and mouth disease mainly involves maintaining good hygiene, washing children's hands frequently, drinking more water appropriately, not being picky about food or eating snacks, and eating more vegetables and fruits appropriately.
