Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My baby went to the hospital and was told it's hand, foot, and mouth disease. It's been two days since the symptoms appeared, and there's no fever. The doctor just prescribed some medicine for him to take. My mother-in-law asked him if taking medicine would help him recover faster, and he said drinking medicine is the same. Is there a problem? Should we isolate? I'm so sad.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection, which is divided into mild and severe types, and the treatment methods are also different. Currently, it is mild, and medication can be taken to closely monitor the symptoms. In principle, isolation is required, and it is recommended to stay indoors to prevent transmission to other children. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses significant harm to children. Once a mother notices her child's symptoms, she should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child's care. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet to ensure proper nutrition. It is hoped that the child can receive professional treatment to aid in recovery!
