Patient's question:
I have small red bumps on my hands and feet, and also on my buttocks. There are ulcers on my mouth. I noticed the small red bumps two days ago and only today did I realize they appeared. The doctor said it's hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Parents can touch the baby normally, pay attention to indoor ventilation, and maintain personal hygiene. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is most common in children, especially those under three years old. Pay attention to isolation to prevent cross-infection. In terms of diet, it is advisable to eat light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold and spicy foods. Wash hands frequently, keep the room well-ventilated, and frequently air out bedding. The child is threatened by hand, foot, and mouth disease, so the mother must take the child to the doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the use of small advertisements for medicine. Proper medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in the child's symptoms and help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
