Patient's question:
The baby is two weeks old. In the first five days, the hospital conducted a thorough examination and said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease. There was no fever, and now the bumps have subsided. This afternoon, the temperature was measured at 37.7°C. Please ask how to treat the baby if the examination said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious illness caused by a viral infection, characterized by the recurrence of blisters on the child's palms, soles, and mouth. Some children may also have a fever. In the current situation of the child, with low-grade fever, it is important to monitor the rash and the child's mental state, as well as any symptoms like nausea or vomiting. If you are still concerned, it is advisable to seek medical attention for a thorough examination, including blood tests. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can pose significant harm to children, so it is recommended that family members take the child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily care, it is important to provide the child with sufficient attention and care, paying close attention to their diet, and hoping that the child can recover as soon as possible!
