Patient's question:
I have a sore in my mouth that hurts so much I don't even want to eat dinner, and I also say I have a stomachache. Sometimes my feet are itchy too. Taking medicine doesn't seem to help at all. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have the child drink more water, provide oral Vitamin C, Vitamin B2, Ribavirin, and Shuanghuanglian. Before and after meals, use physiological saline to rinse the face. For children who absolutely refuse to rinse their faces, a cotton swab dipped in physiological saline can be used to gently clean the mouth to prevent transmission. For those with oral ulcers, apply (Xigua Shuang) spray, Montmorillonite powder, Tin-based powder, or Bingbeng powder to the affected areas.For initial skin rashes, calamine lotion can be applied. Once blisters form or break, apply 0.5% povidone-iodine. Always maintain skin hygiene to prevent infection.
Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children. It is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Drinking some juice daily can help digest vitamins and prevent stomach issues. We hope the child recovers quickly!
