Patient's question:
My son has a fever and some blisters in his mouth, and there's also some peeling on the back of his heels. Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is possible that it could be hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. After diagnosis, active antiviral treatment should be initiated. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, use antipyretic medication. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, primarily use physical cooling methods, drink more water, and maintain a light diet. While paying attention to preventing colds, avoid overheating. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. Once parents notice their child's symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's care. It is recommended to have a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect the condition. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
