Patient's question:
3 Three days ago in the morning, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach with vomiting. In the evening, I had a high fever of 39.5°C. Today at noon, I noticed blisters on my feet, suspecting hand, foot, and mouth disease. Now the blisters are itchy. How can I relieve the itching?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease has rashes and itching. If two of the three mouth areas have rashes, along with the hands and feet, it can be diagnosed as hand, foot, and mouth disease.Guidelines: Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infectious disease. It is usually treated with antiviral medications, and topical corticosteroid creams are not recommended. During the illness, children should receive enhanced care, and oral hygiene should be maintained. Gargling with physiological saline or warm water before and after meals is recommended. Liquids, semi-liquid foods, and non-irritating foods are suitable for consumption.
