Patient's question:
My baby has always been very healthy and rarely catches colds or fevers. Recently, hand, foot, and mouth disease has been spreading in the kindergarten, and my baby has also been infected. Now, it has been almost a month since my baby got hand, foot, and mouth disease, and there is still no improvement. Therefore, I would like to consult an expert: why hasn't the hand, foot, and mouth disease gone away after a month?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection. If it doesn't improve after a long time, it is recommended to use antiviral medication for symptomatic treatment. During this period, it is essential to ensure good air circulation in the room. The child's daily items should be disinfected promptly, and isolation is necessary to prevent transmission to healthy children. The diet should be light, avoiding greasy foods. Treatment must be under the guidance of a doctor, and the child can only return to school after recovery. Daily personal hygiene should be paid attention to.
