Patient's question:
The child just started kindergarten a few days ago. As a result, they got infected and developed hand, foot, and mouth disease. They have already been brought home, but I don't know how to treat it. Moreover, they keep talking about wanting to go back to school every day, and I don't know what to do either. Could anyone with experience please tell me what to do?Doctor's answer:
First, give the child with hand, foot, and mouth disease more water, and then take some antiviral medication to alleviate the condition. It is recommended that the child pay attention to personal hygiene during the illness, such as washing hands after using the bathroom, before meals, and after meals. At the same time, the child's diet should be light during this period, and it is best to avoid giving the child raw, cold, spicy, greasy, or other stimulating foods. In a few days, the hand, foot, and mouth disease will be cured.
