Patient's question:
The child has recently had a poor appetite and has been vomiting while eating. They also frequently experience headaches. When taken to the hospital, it was discovered that the child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. The child is currently undergoing medication treatment, but they strongly resist taking the medication. I myself am not very knowledgeable about this, so I would like to consult on what to do when a child is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
Children suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease should seek treatment at the pediatric department of a local regular hospital and use antiviral drugs under the guidance of a doctor. The diet should primarily consist of light foods, and you can provide the child with liquid or semi-liquid food. You can also cook some seaweed mung bean soup for the child to drink, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. If the throat blisters cause severe pain, you can also spray watermelon frost.
