Patient's question:
Child is 5 and a half years old, diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease without fever but vomited during dinner. How should a 5 and a half-year-old child be treated if diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you mentioned above, it is preliminarily considered to be a viral infection caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to drink more water, eat light and easily digestible foods, and take appropriate doses of ribavirin oral liquid for antiviral treatment. Carefully observe the condition, and if it does not improve, seek hospital treatment with intravenous fluids. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. Once a mom notices her child's symptoms, she should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to the child's care. It is advised to follow a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect the condition. We hope the child can receive symptomatic treatment and recover quickly!
