Patient's question:
Hello, my baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease, but only rashes, no other symptoms, and no fever. How long will the rashes last? It's the third day now, and there are many rashes. Is the possibility of complications relatively small? As long as there's no fever, and the baby is in good spirits and eating well, it should be mild, right?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily a symptom caused by enterovirus transmission, and it is contagious among children. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mainly caused by wind-heat, with a typical course of 7 days. The rash usually disappears within 7 days without leaving scars. Pay attention to a light diet as the foundation, avoiding dry foods such as biscuits to aid recovery.Children suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease should be taken to a doctor immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to closely monitor the child's condition and provide as much support as possible to ensure timely treatment for the disease.
