The child has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, but does not have a fever and is in good spirits. Do you need to be hospitalized for treatment? How should the child be treated once diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease caused by enterovirus infection. It is recommended to give the baby more water, light and easily digestible food, and take some antiviral traditional Chinese medicine. Always keep the skin clean and hygienic, and do not let the baby scratch. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. Once the mother notices the child's symptoms, she should take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's care issues. It is recommended to have a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect the condition. We hope the child can receive symptomatic treatment and recover quickly!
