Patient's question:
Before diagnosis, it was thought to be a cold and IV fluids were administered for two days. After returning home, the hands and feet itched and ached all night. By the morning of the third day, rashes had appeared. When checked at the hospital, it was diagnosed as hand, foot, and mouth disease. It still itches, and rashes appear after the itching subsides. How can the intense itching from hand, foot, and mouth disease be managed?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of hand, foot, and mouth disease, if it has been diagnosed, anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications should be administered. It is recommended to carefully monitor for symptoms, prevent transmission, provide anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatments, and avoid catching colds. If the symptoms are severe, it is necessary to seek further medical examination and treatment at a hospital. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. Once parents notice their child's symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's diet, suggesting a balanced diet and avoiding cold foods. It is hoped that the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
