Patient's question:
The child just finished taking a bath and seems to be very afraid of water and reluctant to wash. After we gave him a bath, we noticed that there were many red bumps on his hands and feet compared to before. What could be the problem?Doctor's answer:
If the child is younger, the possibility of hand, foot, and mouth disease may be higher. It is usually caused by the transmission of the herpes virus and is contagious. In addition to hospital medication, it is important to drink more water, pay attention to enhancing nutrition, and let the child rest more. Generally, it can be fully recovered in about a week.Since the child has been affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment. Avoid blindly using small advertisements for medication and ensure proper medication. For parents, it is essential to closely observe changes in the child's symptoms and do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
