Patient's question:
A one-year-old baby was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease yesterday. Today, the area of blisters has expanded, accompanied by cough and high fever. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by enterovirus infection, and the presence of herpes is not necessarily an indication of the severity of the condition. After the virus infection, there may be a recurrence of fever, and some children may also experience other symptoms of respiratory infection, such as mild cough. The most important treatment is to use antiviral drugs to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease. The harm to children is significant, so it is recommended that parents take their children to a specialist for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance. In daily life, children can be given enough care and attention, and their dietary needs should be closely monitored, hoping that they can recover as soon as possible!
