Patient's question:
In the kindergarten, a child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. If other children get infected, how long will it take to notice? The sick child is usually a very noisy and active one, but over the past two days, I've noticed that he's become very quiet. When I walked over, I found that he had many blisters in his mouth.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease usually takes about a week to develop. Once a child gets hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is essential to go to the local hospital's pediatric department for treatment. When parents are taking care of their children, they must be patient. If any discomfort is noticed in the child, it is crucial to take them to the hospital for a timely check-up. Parents should never give their children medication blindly while caring for them, as this could delay the child's recovery.
