Patient's question:
Doctor, the child suddenly had a fever today. They went for a follow-up visit and confirmed they have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Small blisters have appeared all over their body. What should I do if a 4-year-old girl gets hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
According to the child's condition description, it may be hand, foot, and mouth disease, possibly related to a viral infection, and symptomatic treatment is recommended. Generally, ribavirin and Isatis root can be used for antiviral and symptomatic treatment. Avoid spicy foods, drink more water, and treat fever as a symptom. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children. Once parents notice their child's symptoms, they should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's diet and recommend a proper diet, avoiding cold foods. It is hoped that the child can receive professional treatment to help them recover!
