Patient's question:
The child had hand, foot, and mouth disease a few days ago and was admitted to the hospital for 4 days of IV treatment. The doctor said it has started to improve. Could you please ask how the child was treated for hand, foot, and mouth disease a few days ago?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you provided, it is possible that the child hasn't fully recovered or may have contracted another illness like a cold. It would be best to have a blood test done again. Based on the examination results, symptomatic anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment should be administered. If the temperature is around 38.5°C, fever-reducing medication can be given. If the temperature is higher, drink plenty of warm water in adequate amounts to prevent the effects of cold. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. It is recommended that parents take the child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance. In daily care, it is important to provide the child with enough attention and care, pay close attention to their diet, and hope that the child can recover as soon as possible!
