Patient's question:
Compared to usual, he can eat for 4 days. The rescue situation and effects 4 days ago: Yesterday, he went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The test results said they were relatively normal. He took medicine and had intravenous drips, but today he hasn't eaten anything, although he isn't hungry. Could it be getting worse? How can I get him to eat?Doctor's answer:
The patient may have mild upper respiratory symptoms. Due to the pain from oral ulcers, the child drools and refuses to eat. Oral mucosal rashes reappear relatively early, initially appearing as rice-grain-sized papules or vesicles with a red halo, primarily located on the tongue and both cheeks, and often recurring on the lip and gum sides. These rashes are generally painless and itchy, and they leave no scars after healing. The lesions of hand, foot, and mouth disease do not necessarily all appear in the same patient. Blisters and rashes usually subside within a week. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, children can be given enough care and attention, with special attention paid to their dietary needs, and it is hoped that they can recover as soon as possible!
