Patient's question:
A 4-year-old child with hand, foot, and mouth disease initially had blisters in their mouth, a slight fever, and red spots on their hands. After 6 days of treatment, the fever has subsided, the blisters in the mouth have reduced significantly, and the spots on the hands are also healing. Currently, there is only a small blister with some redness in the mouth. It has been 7 days since the last treatment. Can the condition fully heal without further treatment?Doctor's answer:
If it is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, it should be treated immediately. Hand, foot, and mouth disease should primarily be treated with antiviral therapy. Daily hygiene should be paid close attention to, and spicy foods that affect health should be avoided. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. If parents notice any symptoms in their child, they should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's care, recommend appropriate diet, avoid cold foods, and hope that the child can receive symptomatic treatment to help them recover!
