Patient's question:
My child is 3 years old. He loves going to the bubble pool very much. Recently, it has been the peak period for hand, foot, and mouth disease, and we haven't been outside for more than a week. Today, my son kept asking to go out. We went out for a bit and came home, where he started sneezing a few times. I want to know what the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease are?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection that may cause symptoms such as fever, mouth pain, loss of appetite, and scattered blisters or ulcers on the oral mucosa. It is important to provide children with comprehensive nutrition to enhance their immunity and resistance. Children should be taught to wash their hands frequently, change and wash their clothes often, and bathe regularly to maintain personal hygiene. Avoid letting children eat raw or cold foods, and try to minimize their time playing in crowded places.
