Patient's question:
Many bumps appeared on my hands and feet. The local children's hospital said it's hand, foot, and mouth disease. I noticed it this morning, but I haven't received treatment yet. I want to know if hand, foot, and mouth disease is very serious and whether it can be recovered from. Will the child suffer a lot?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute infectious disease. Active treatment will never leave any sequelae. Currently, oral antiviral liquid is being used for treatment. If high fever persists, convulsions, dry cough, or poor mental state reappear, it is recommended to go to the hospital for intravenous drip treatment. Avoid spicy foods for now. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. Once family members notice symptoms in their child, they should promptly take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's dietary issues. It is advised to maintain a balanced diet and avoid spicy, harmful foods. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
