Patient's question:
After taking the medication for three days, the red spots on the palms and soles did not increase, but they did not decrease either. There are mouth ulcers and mild fever. It has been four days. In kindergarten, handwashing is not done frequently. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: VC, VB, Azithromycin. I want to know if the current symptoms have improved.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: For hand, foot, and mouth disease, it usually heals on its own within about a week. Since hand, foot, and mouth disease is contagious, and your baby is currently sick, it's best not to send them to daycare. They should be isolated. People who have been in contact with the baby should take precautions for disinfection and isolation to avoid cross-infection. You can supplement your baby with vitamins B and C, but avoid taking azithromycin. You can take traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying. I hope my reply is helpful to you.
