Patient's question:
My son's kindergarten has recently had a widespread outbreak of hand, foot, and mouth disease. He also has a persistent fever and often complains of a headache. I took him for a check-up, and it was confirmed to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. I'm so worried, so urgently, urgently, urgently,... What should be paid attention to regarding hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection and is related to poor hygiene. Therefore, it is important to first pay attention to children's hygiene, frequently wash their hands, and prevent them from putting their hands in their mouths. Encourage children to drink more water, ensure they stay warm, and avoid getting cold. Do not take children to crowded places. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral antiviral medication should be administered. If the condition is severe, intravenous fluid treatment may be required.
