Patient's question:
Doctor, my son has hand, foot, and mouth disease. He has been taking medicine for two days, but the blisters keep appearing. Is this normal? Do they need to be drained out, or what?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is transmitted by enteroviruses and is related to poor hygiene, diarrhea, and infection. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment from a pediatrician, including intravenous administration of antiviral and fluid replacement for symptomatic treatment. Currently, the blisters are still healing and forming scabs. It is essential to maintain good hygiene and prevent pus formation and transmission. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children, so parents are advised to take their children to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is beneficial to give children some juice to aid digestion and vitamin absorption, prevent diarrhea, and wish for the child to recover as soon as possible!
