Patient's question:
A 1-year-old girl woke up this morning and noticed a few small blisters on her feet that were similar to eczema. She initially thought it was eczema and didn't see a doctor. By the afternoon, she started hiccuping and then went to see a doctor, who diagnosed her with hand, foot, and mouth disease. However, she doesn't have a fever or a runny nose, but she does have mouth ulcers. In the evening, more blisters appeared on her hands. What medicine can be used to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease? Or is there any ointment that can be applied? How long will it take to recover?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily manifests as blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. It is caused by enterovirus transmission. Moderate exercise can help reduce the body's immunity. Pay attention to washing hands, drinking hot water, keeping the room well-ventilated, and drying bedding in the sun. Wishing you good health.Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be quite disruptive to children. It is recommended that family members take the child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance for care. In daily life, it is okay to give the child some juice, which can help digest vitamins, prevent stomach upsets, and hope the child can recover quickly!
