Patient's question:
Your friend's child has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease and cannot go to school.Does hand, foot, and mouth disease require hospitalization? Is this disease contagious? How can it be treated quickly? What are the common causes of this disease?
Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease in mild cases does not require hospitalization, but treatment methods should be determined under the guidance of a doctor based on specific circumstances. Body temperature should be measured, and if fever occurs, measures to reduce body temperature should be taken. It is important to drink plenty of water and maintain personal hygiene. Attention should also be paid to dietary habits, avoiding foods that may trigger reactions or irritate the digestive system. A lighter diet is generally better. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
