Patient's question:
Your child was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease three days ago. Initially, their spirits were normal, but three days ago, they started to have a fever, mostly high fever, occasionally reaching 38.5°C. However, in the past two days, their spirits have been very poor, and they often need to be held. They have a sore mouth and don't like to eat! They easily wake up during naps at night, with slightly rapid breathing and a fast heartbeat. Their blood sugar was normal yesterday, but their white blood cell count is high. How should hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, and tends to wake up easily during naps at night. For the baby's condition, hand, foot, and mouth disease is transmitted by enteroviruses, and antiviral medication needs to be taken. For oral ulcers, acyclovir spray should be used. Pay close attention and monitor carefully. The child is at risk of hand, foot, and mouth disease, so parents must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent blind medication that only alleviates symptoms. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
