Patient's question:
The baby is three and a half years old. Yesterday, I noticed some small red spots in her mouth. She doesn't have a fever but has a slight cough. I took her to the doctor, who said it's a respiratory infection. Last night, I noticed that some of the red spots had turned into small white blisters, but she kept complaining of pain while eating dinner. If it's hand, foot, and mouth disease, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is the recurrence of blisters in the mouth, hands, feet, and buttocks. It is primarily treated with antiviral therapy. Upper respiratory infections are also based on antiviral treatment. Since there are no blisters on the hands and feet now, hand, foot, and mouth disease is temporarily not considered. For upper respiratory infections, you can take Antiviral Granules and Kangfuxin Liquid, drink more warm water, and pay close attention to whether blisters appear on the hands and feet.The child is troubled by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent blind medication that only alleviates symptoms. For parents, it is important to carefully observe any changes in the child's symptoms and do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
