Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old and got hand, foot, and mouth disease at school. He already had it on his hands and feet, and now it's all over his body. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious illness caused by a viral infection, characterized by symptoms such as fever and rashes. It is recommended that children with symptoms be hospitalized for close observation and treated with a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Avoid contact with other children to prevent further transmission. We hope the child's condition stabilizes as soon as possible. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. Once a mother notices her child's symptoms, she should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis in a timely manner. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's diet, and it is advisable to eat a balanced diet while avoiding spicy and irritating foods. We hope the child receives effective treatment and recovers quickly!
