Patient's question:
My little baby got hand, foot, and mouth disease. It was only checked out this noon. I thought it was just a common cold before and never took any preventive measures. The doctor said that if you have this disease, you need to be very careful because it is contagious. So the child hasn't been to school. Could you please tell me what we should pay attention to at home?Doctor's answer:
If isolation treatment is needed for hand, foot, and mouth disease, and fever prevention is necessary, it may lead to pneumonia, myocarditis, or meningitis. If it is severe, it may be life-threatening. Avoid giving the child cold food. Hand, foot, and mouth disease and viral infections require antiviral medication. Let the baby rest and monitor their temperature. Wear cotton and breathable clothing, wash hands, and open the windows. Observe the baby's condition.
