Patient's question:
The baby had a fever a few days ago and took medicine for several days, which then subsided. White sores have appeared in the child's mouth, causing pain. The child is not eating well, has a runny nose, and when putting on diapers, noticed several red bumps near the abdomen and legs. Except for a few that are flat, they are all red, and it's unclear whether they are caused by vaccine allergies or the diapers. Does the baby have hand, foot, and mouth disease? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The oral ulcers and fever you mentioned in the child are likely caused by inflammation in the mouth or other factors. Oral ulcers are a relatively common condition in children. In this case, it is not likely hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended that you give the child antibiotics such as cefixime for intravenous treatment to address the fever, as this can help the child recover more quickly. During the treatment, you can also spray Shuanglao Houfeng Powder into the child's mouth, which can help heal the oral ulcers more quickly. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children, so it is advisable for parents to take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
