Patient's question:
On October 3rd, I had a mouth ulcer. On October 4th, I noticed small blisters on my hands and went to the hospital for a check-up, where I was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease and received intravenous treatment. On October 5th, I went to a large hospital for a check-up, and the doctor confirmed it was hand, foot, and mouth disease as well, saying that intravenous treatment was not necessary and that medication would suffice. On October 6th, there was no increase in blisters, and the blisters on my hands turned deep red. Is it improving?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this child has ulcers in their mouth and small blisters on their hands. If the diagnosis is hand, foot, and mouth disease, they should take medication promptly. They need some antiviral medication. Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease should pay attention to the following points: First, stay isolated at home and avoid crowded places; second, give the child non-irritating, easily digestible, or semi-liquid foods. Third: get plenty of rest, drink more water, and pay attention to observation.
