Patient's question:
I have small red bumps on my hands and feet, and there are also some on my buttocks. I have ulcers on my mouth. I noticed the small red bumps two days ago, and only today did I realize they were there. If a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease eats very little, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The baby likely contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease due to a viral infection, so it is recommended to actively implement antiviral treatment. If the baby is eating very little, it is suggested to give them digestive aids for treatment. During this period, pay attention to drinking more fluids and maintaining regular bowel movements to avoid stomach issues. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents take the child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance. In daily life, it is okay to give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digestion and vitamin intake, helping to prevent stomach issues. We hope the child can recover quickly!
