Patient's question:
The skin is peeling off on my hands, feet, and everywhere except my mouth. The baby is not feverish now and is eating dinner well. I want to know when I can stop taking the medicine.Doctor's answer:
You mentioned that the baby has blisters on their mouth, hands, and feet. I suggest waiting for them to burst. Your child's temperature is now normal. Generally, it takes about 7 days of medication for the blisters to disappear. Once the blisters in the mouth and on the feet are mostly gone, it will be almost healed! Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. If a mother notices any symptoms in her child, she should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, she should pay close attention to the child's care. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet to ensure the child's body gets adequate nutrition. We hope the child can receive appropriate treatment and recover quickly!
