Patient's question:
My daughter is one year and eight months old. The day before yesterday, she had a fever and developed blisters in her mouth. We went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor prescribed medication, saying she didn't need to get a shot or be hospitalized. Over the past couple of days, her hands and feet have been covered in chickenpox, and I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the symptoms, the child may have hand, foot, and mouth disease caused by a virus. If it is mild, oral treatment can be administered. If your child's temperature exceeds and remains above 39°C, or if their mental state deteriorates, it is necessary to be alert to the possibility of severe hand, foot, and mouth disease. This requires timely medical and hospital treatment. If the child refuses to eat anything, intravenous treatment is also needed. I hope my reply is helpful to you.
