Patient's question:
Age of onset and cause of illness: Yesterday, I had a white spot in my mouth and thought it was a canker sore, but I didn't take it seriously. Last night, I noticed more of them. Today, I went to the hospital. The doctor said it's hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should I pay attention to? His feet, hands, and buttocks all have small blisters. He doesn't have a fever, but he also has them in his mouth and can't eat.Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is commonly caused by enterovirus 71 infection, so the treatment for this disease primarily involves antiviral therapy and preventing complications.Advice: This condition can be treated with some oral sprays or similar medications, but there is no need to apply topical medications to the hands, feet, or buttocks. Encourage the child to drink more water and avoid going out at home. Properly apply the prescribed medication, and the disease usually heals within 5-7 days. This disease is also common now, so there is no need to worry. I hope my answer helps you.
