Patient's question:
My daughter is only two years old this year. She is a particularly lovely child, but she has been sick recently. She has hand, foot, and mouth disease, and her appetite hasn't been very good. However, she doesn't have a fever. How should I treat hand, foot, and mouth disease in a child without a fever?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection and is primarily related to poor hygiene. Treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor, taking oral antiviral medications. The course of the disease is usually about one to ten days. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to the child's hygiene, wash hands frequently, avoid spicy and greasy foods, and maintain a light diet. It is advisable to eat more vegetables, fruits, and high-protein foods such as eggs and milk.
