Patient's question:
My son has developed a large blister in his mouth again these past few days. I suspect it's caused by coldness, so I bought some medicine from the pharmacy for him to take. However, there hasn't been any improvement, and I'm wondering whether I should take him to the hospital. What should I do if my child has a large blister in their mouth due to hand, foot, and mouth disease, and the medicine hasn't worked after three days?Doctor's answer:
Consider the need for a thorough recovery over several days. For viral infections, targeted treatment is required. Medical advice can be sought to prescribe antiviral medications. It is important to maintain good hygiene for the child and encourage the habit of washing the face frequently. At this time, it is essential to monitor body temperature to avoid discomfort. Pay attention to a balanced diet and avoid foods that may cause allergies. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
