Patient's question:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease, it's the fourth day now. Repeated fever. Since the second day, I've broken out in rashes all over my body, and they're getting more and more. Doctor, is it good that I have so many rashes? When will they disappear?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, commonly occurring in children under the age of 5. It is characterized by mouth pain, low fever, poor appetite, and small blisters or ulcers on the hands, feet, and mouth. Most children can recover within about a week.In terms of treatment, if the blisters and ulcers in the mouth are severe, apply some ointment to the affected areas, take antiviral medication and traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, and supplement with vitamins B and C. Pay attention to the child's personal hygiene. Clothes and bedding should be washed and changed frequently, and the diet should be light.
