Patient's question:
Diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Initially, the person was mentally normal. Three days ago, they started having a fever, mostly high-grade fever. Their mental state is very poor, and they constantly demand to be held. They have a sore mouth and don't want to eat! They easily wake up during naps at night, and their breathing is somewhat rapid. Could it develop into a severe condition? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is characterized by the recurrence of blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, with mild and brief symptoms, most commonly seen in children. Generally, antiviral treatment is required. If the blood count is high, antibiotics can be used for treatment. Hand, foot, and mouth disease usually has a good prognosis, with most patients recovering well. However, it can be highly disruptive to children. Once a mother notices her child's symptoms, she should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child's diet, and it is recommended to maintain a balanced diet to ensure proper nutrition absorption. It is hoped that the child can receive professional treatment to aid in recovery!
