Patient's question:
Yesterday, on March 3rd, I noticed scattered small blisters on my body and face. There were 8 on my back of the hands, but none on my feet. I don't have a fever. My tongue seems to have white spots. Since the discovery of these symptoms, I started taking antiviral oral liquid and Radix Isatidis.I would like to know: How can I prevent and treat this?
Doctor's answer:
The child's condition, based on the onset age, season, and symptoms, may be consistent with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection. Even if the child's case is mild, current treatment is sufficient. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and stay isolated at home. Generally, it will improve within 7-10 days. It is best to avoid crowded public places as much as possible. Daily disinfection of the floor with 84 disinfectant can be done at home, and it is also important to maintain good ventilation, wash hands frequently, eat cooked food, drink boiled water, and frequently air out bedding. These measures can significantly reduce the risk of contracting hand, foot, and mouth disease.
