Patient's question:
Go to the hospital for a check-up. The hospital has now confirmed it as hand, foot, and mouth disease. What causes this disease, and how should it be prevented?Doctor's answer:
When hand, foot, and mouth disease is confirmed, the first step is to determine whether there are any complications. If it is mild and the child has no complications, they can be treated at home with symptomatic therapy, such as taking Pudilan oral liquid orally, monitoring body temperature, and paying attention to personal hygiene. If there is recurrent fever or complications, in addition to antiviral treatment, the treatment methods also include controlling intracranial hypertension, using corticosteroids as appropriate, using intravenous immunoglobulin as appropriate, and other symptomatic treatments: fever reduction, sedation, anticonvulsants, oxygen inhalation, and using ventilators for assisted breathing when necessary.
