Patient's question:
A child is three years old. It is said to have hand, foot, and mouth disease. They started having a low fever two days ago, didn't want to eat yesterday, and today noticed several white spots in their mouth. There are also spots on their hands, feet, and buttocks. At night, they keep drooling. It seems their face has swollen quite a bit. Is it that the condition of a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease is getting worse when they drool?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease in children should still be taken seriously, as it may lead to complications. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for further examination. If necessary, it is safer to be hospitalized for treatment. Children affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease should be taken to the doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to closely monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
