Patient's question:
Patient Age: Five years oldMy daughter discovered this yesterday, and today I took her to see a doctor. The doctor said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease, but she doesn't have a fever. Is it serious? I would like to answer, thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, which primarily affects children under the age of 5. It can cause blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. If there are no complications, the prognosis is generally good, and most recover within a week.Advice: The main treatment principle is symptomatic treatment. Antiviral medications, heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese herbal medicines, and vitamins B and C can be taken. Patients with complications may receive intramuscular injection of immune globulin. During the illness, it is important to provide better care for the child and maintain good oral hygiene. Gargling with physiological saline or warm water before and after meals is recommended. Foods should be liquid or semi-liquid and non-irritating.
Doctor's inquiry: I hope my answer is helpful to you! The above advice is for the question "My daughter has hand, foot, and mouth disease." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
