Patient's question:
Baby hand, foot, and mouth disease, only on the hands, feet, and buttocks there are blisters, no fever. Went to the hospital, the doctor said the symptoms are mild, prescribed antiviral oral liquid and Kangfuxin liquid, one to take, one to apply. Now on the third day, blisters have also appeared on the eyelids. Is the condition getting worse? Do I need to receive intravenous injection treatment?Doctor's answer:
The child also developed herpes on their knees, but it's not a sign of worsening illness. It's just that the herpes hasn't fully appeared during the course of the disease. As long as the child is in good spirits, it usually indicates that the illness is not severe. If the child is willing to cooperate with taking medicine and applying ointment, oral medication is sufficient, and there's no need for immediate intravenous treatment. If the child can't eat or drink anything, then intravenous treatment may be necessary. You can also add Mulberry Manna to tea and have the child drink it frequently, which can help clear heat and reduce dampness. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children. It's recommended that parents take the child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
