Patient's question:
A two-year-old child ate food contaminated with hand, foot, and mouth disease, and then, I just found out that the child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should I do now? Should they take medicine? Help me, the two-year-old child ate food contaminated with hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
Hello, due to low immunity in children, when children interact with each other, it is generally advised to remind parents to avoid sharing drinks and food! This helps prevent the recurrence of many infectious diseases! There is no specific medication for hand, foot, and mouth disease. Treatment is generally based on antiviral therapy. If there is exposure to this condition, preventive use of traditional Chinese medicine, such as Banlangen, can be considered. Pudilin oral liquid can also be used. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses a significant threat to children, so it is recommended that parents take their children to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is advisable to give children some juice, which is beneficial for digestion and vitamin absorption, and helps prevent stomach problems. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
