Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is currently attending kindergarten. Recently, there have been many cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease, and many children in the kindergarten eat together. I'm worried about getting infected. Could you please tell me how to prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease and what to do about a small lump in the throat?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a condition that every child can potentially get. Generally, children who contract hand, foot, and mouth disease will not attend school. It is recommended to wash hands frequently, drink more water, and provide children with nutritious fruits and vegetables. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more vitamin-rich fruits like kiwis. Gradually, the small blisters in the throat will heal. Parents should pay close attention to their children.
