Patient's question:
My daughter is 13 and a half months old. Last night, she started having clear nasal discharge and wasn't very interested in dinner but still ate a little. She doesn't have any other symptoms. The day before yesterday, she played with a child who had hand, foot, and mouth disease without knowing.Previous treatment and effectiveness: She was given Yu Kadan cold medicine.
Hello, is this the initial symptom of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is common and highly susceptible among infants and young children, who lack resistance. Therefore, it is important to prevent contact and maintain good personal hygiene. If high fever or recurrent blisters on the bones and muscles reappear, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination, as these symptoms cannot confirm they are initial signs. If a child is affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents must take them to the hospital for timely treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Symptomatic treatment should be administered promptly, and parents should closely monitor any changes in their child's symptoms to provide the best possible support in treating the illness.
