Patient's question:
Had hand, foot, and mouth disease for 7 days, now fever is under control and medication has been stopped. Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be controlled after 7 days?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you mentioned above, it is preliminarily considered to be caused by a viral infection. Please pay close attention and monitor carefully. It is recommended to drink more water, eat light and easily digestible foods, and take appropriate doses of Ribavirin oral liquid for antiviral treatment. Pay attention to wiping the body with lukewarm water to lower the temperature and monitor closely. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be quite harmful to children. It is advised that family members take the child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is acceptable to give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digestion and vitamin absorption, and can help prevent stomach issues. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
