Patient's question:
There is a blister in the mouth, and there is also one on the tongue. Refusal to eat, just discharged from the hospital, should I go to the hospital again?Doctor's answer:
If it's not hot, you can wait and see. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious illness caused by enteroviruses. After diagnosis, antiviral drugs, heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese herbal medicines, and vitamins B and C can be taken. Patients with complications may receive intramuscular injections of immunoglobulin. During the illness, it's important to enhance care for the child and maintain good oral hygiene. Before and after defecation, you can use physiological saline or warm water to rinse the face. Foods should be liquid or semi-liquid and non-irritating.Since children are affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, family members must take them to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it's crucial to closely monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely medical care.
