Patient's question:
This morning after getting the vaccine (chickenpox) for the baby, on the way home I noticed red spots in the baby's mouth, also on the hands, and not very noticeable on the feet. I went to the clinic, and the doctor said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease, recommending a visit to the hospital. When I got to the hospital, the doctor said it was mild and didn't require hospitalization.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease has many transmission routes, including respiratory transmission, gastrointestinal transmission, and contact transmission. Advice: This disease is self-limiting, and there is no effective treatment. If there are no complications, most recover in about a week. Drinking more water can help. The baby hasn't been eating well these days, and even when he does, he doesn't digest it! I plan to not feed him anything for now and just give him some milk. Is that okay?Yes, you can give the baby some easily digestible foods in moderation and avoid too many foods. I recommend taking the baby to the hospital for a check-up to find out the specific cause. The doctor can then provide targeted treatment.
