Patient's question:
Doctor, I left my child with my grandmother in the countryside for care, because she is getting older, so her care for the child is not as meticulous. Therefore, I heard from my grandmother that the child might have hand, foot, and mouth disease. However, I don't understand it very well. Could you please tell me what the symptoms and treatments for hand, foot, and mouth disease are?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease usually presents with fever symptoms, and the fever temperature is relatively high. The fever tends to recur, and after the fever, white blisters may appear in the mouth, hands, and feet. The symptoms are generally severe. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be treated promptly with medication or intravenous fluids. Additionally, hand, foot, and mouth disease has many complications, so it is essential to seek early treatment to avoid any impact on the child's health. During the course of hand, foot, and mouth disease, avoid bathing the child.
