Patient's question:
A child has developed a blister in their mouth, located inside the lower lip. No blisters were found elsewhere. Only the mouth has blisters, no blisters on the bones. Hello, is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The course of hand, foot, and mouth disease lasts for 7-10 days, and it does not mean that the condition will be immediately controlled after taking medication. All symptoms must disappear to be considered fully recovered. It is recommended to focus on medication. Acyclovir cream is primarily used for external application and is also a method of symptomatic treatment. Acyclovir is mainly used to treat herpes virus, and the cream form can be applied externally, helping in the treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. If parents notice symptoms in their child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's diet, recommending a light diet with limited spicy or irritating foods. It is hoped that the child can receive professional treatment to aid in recovery!
