Patient's question:
At half a year old, blisters reappeared on the palms, soles of the feet, and buttocks, but there was no fever, and the spirit was good. It was diagnosed as hand, foot, and mouth disease. Will it worsen further? What kind of help is needed: Will there be a fever below? Will it be severe?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an acute infectious disease caused by a viral infection. The incubation period is typically 3-5 days, and the recovery period is 7-10 days. Currently, the main treatment is antiviral therapy. If high fever persists, mental distress, or dry vomiting occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for blood tests and chest X-rays to diagnose the cause and receive treatment. Drinking plenty of water is also important now. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. If parents notice any symptoms in their child, they should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, parents should pay close attention to their child's diet, advising a balanced diet with limited spicy or irritating foods. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
