Patient's question:
The child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. They went to the hospital, and the doctor just gave them an IV drip. Is it okay? They didn't even admit them to the hospital, just gave them an IV drip. And they still have a fever.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute infectious disease caused by enterovirus, primarily characterized by blisters on the hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks. Generally, mild cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease do not require hospitalization and can be treated with outpatient intravenous fluids. Pay attention to drinking plenty of fluids. If the child is in good spirits, without frequent vomiting or convulsions, there is no need for concern. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, children can be given enough care and attention, with special attention paid to their diet, hoping that they can recover as soon as possible!
