Patient's question:
Small blisters on hands and feet, mouth ulcers, loss of appetite, accompanied by mild fever, may be caused by respiratory transmission of hand, foot, and mouth disease. I have received intravenous drips for several days with some effect. Is it necessary to go to the hospital for treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease now, it generally takes more than a week for them to fully recover.1. Currently, the treatment focuses on medication, primarily to prevent the recurrence of complications.
2. Pay close attention to the child's care, ensure proper nutrition, drink plenty of water, and eat soft, easily digestible foods. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a check-up in one or two days, but hospitalization is not necessary.
Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children, so it is advised that parents take their child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, children can be given enough care and attention, with special attention paid to their dietary needs, and it is hoped that they can recover as soon as possible!
