Patient's question:
A few days ago, my child's classmate contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, but the child's parents still brought him for tutoring. They have no common sense at all. The next day, my son also got hand, foot, and mouth disease and went to the hospital to see a doctor. He is now resting at home.Hello, what should be noted when suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is prone to reinfection. Pay attention to a proper diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, as well as snacks. Also, ensure the child maintains good hygiene, paying attention to oral health and brushing teeth frequently. If there are symptoms of low fever, implement fever-reducing treatment, using physical cooling methods. The diet should be light, consisting of liquid or semi-liquid foods, avoiding high-protein foods, and drinking plenty of water. Pay attention to the child's skin hygiene and avoid catching a cold.
