Patient's question:
Recently it's the peak season for hand, foot, and mouth disease, and we haven't gone out to play for a long time. The day before yesterday, my daughter kept asking to go to Bubble Pool, so I had to take her. Yesterday, I noticed she had some symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. After seeing the doctor, it was confirmed to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection. If a child gets hand, foot, and mouth disease, they need to take antiviral medication under the guidance of a doctor. In severe cases, intravenous infusion treatment can be used in conjunction. The general course of the disease is about one to ten days. It is important to let the child drink more water, keep warm, and avoid getting cold. Appropriate amounts of vegetables, fruits, and high-protein foods such as eggs and milk can be given.
