Patient's question:
The child is 8 years old. Today, it was found that they have hand, foot, and mouth disease. There is no fever. There are red spots on the palms, soles, legs, feet, and buttocks. What medicine should they take?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly caused by the transmission of Coxsackievirus 16 and enterovirus EV71. The main symptoms include blisters on the oral mucosa, buttocks, and skin, accompanied or not accompanied by fever. If the child is in good spirits and without fever, it is recommended to isolate and disinfect for 2 weeks. Oral medications such as Xiao'er Chiqiao or Xiao'er Resuqing can be taken for observation. Since the child is affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, the mother must take the child to the hospital for timely treatment to prevent the use of small advertisements for drugs. Proper medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to closely monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
