Patient's question:
Son is four years old, suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease for three days. He has a fever of around 39 degrees Celsius three to four times a day. How should I treat my four-year-old son with hand, foot, and mouth disease for three days?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. You can give the child some Radix Isatidis or antiviral oral liquid. The rashes on the hands and feet can be treated with acyclovir externally, and mouth ulcers can be treated with vitamin B2 ointment. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can give fever-reducing medication, which can be repeated every 4-6 hours if necessary. 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 in a timely manner. At the same time, she should pay close attention to the child's care. It is recommended to have a proper diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect the condition. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
