How to care for hand, foot, and mouth disease after discharge

Patient's question:

How should you care for hand, foot, and mouth disease after treatment? The question of how to care for hand, foot, and mouth disease after treatment is quite troublesome. About 5 days after discharge and going home, I sweat a lot on my head, and later the sweating spread to my body. At night, I talk in my dreams, cry, and laugh. Is this situation normal?

Doctor's answer:

Discharged, it should have already passed the isolation period. It's not a big problem. Please pay attention to the baby. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. It commonly occurs in children under 5 years old. It can cause blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. In a few cases, it may lead to complications such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, and aseptic meningitis. In rare cases, severe illness can progress rapidly, leading to death. Daily diet and hygiene should be paid close attention to. That's enough.
