Patient's question:
Patient Age: Two and a half weeks old. A child has developed several chickenpox on their legs, which are now mostly healed. In the past two days, a few have also appeared on their arms. There was no fever during this period. Yesterday, they caught a cold and had a high fever at 2 a.m. Small red bumps have appeared on their tongue and lips. The doctor suspects hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
When a child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, it should not be delayed. They should be taken to the hospital immediately for treatment. After the doctor conducts a timely examination, they can monitor the child's condition at any time, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, adhere to medication, and pay attention to their health. For children with hand, foot, and mouth disease, attention should also be paid. If it is relatively mild, oral medication can be taken, along with topical antiviral wipes and inhalation sprays, which can achieve good therapeutic effects. Alternatively, traditional Chinese medicine can also be chosen.
