Patient's question:
Over the past two days, red spots have started to appear on my body, including in my mouth. I've been drooling a lot. The doctor diagnosed it as hand, foot, and mouth disease. My home has other children who have already had it, and my child has been infected. The doctor prescribed both Western and traditional Chinese medicine to take together. After recovery, do I still need to get immunoglobulin injections?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection, and it usually heals completely after medication, so there's no need for plasma globulin. If a baby is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, there's no need for plasma globulin after recovery, but it's essential to pay attention to oral and hand hygiene during the treatment process.Personal opinion, for reference only! If a child is troubled by hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents must take them to see a doctor immediately for treatment to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it's important to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
