What should be noted when a child has hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

2 At first, for a few days without feeding, I asked the doctor who said it was nothing and prescribed Seven Star Children's Granules and Glucose Zinc Oral Liquid. That night, I noticed a large patch of red spots on the little butt, and the next morning, there were red spots all over the palms. I went back to ask the doctor again and found out I had hand, foot, and mouth disease. The next day, the feet also had a large patch of red spots.

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a virus. It is a self-limiting illness that can resolve on its own. The course of the disease is typically about one week.
Recommendations: Wash hands frequently and maintain good personal hygiene. Do not share toys, utensils, or other items with other children. Antiviral medications may be taken, and monitor the child's condition. If there are symptoms such as limbs twitching or abnormal crying, seek medical attention immediately. This is because it could be a severe case of hand, foot, and mouth disease.
