Patient's question:
Hello everyone, my child is four years old. Recently, he started getting blisters on his hands and feet. Yesterday, he had a fever, and this morning, small blisters appeared on his palms and soles. I would like to ask, how should suspected hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated?Doctor's answer:
Suspected hand, foot, and mouth disease, you can go to the hospital to check a blood test, take oral antiviral medication for symptomatic treatment, do not scratch the skin to avoid infection, the child's nails should be trimmed, and the hands should be washed with soap and water. The diet should mainly consist of easily digestible semi-liquid soft foods, avoid greasy and cold foods. If there are oral ulcers, it is important to do a good job of nursing care, and drink more warm water.
