Patient's question:
Doctor, the flu has been really severe recently, many children have been sick. Would a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease experience vomiting?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly caused by intestinal viruses, primarily through close contact and airborne droplets. It can also cause nausea and vomiting in babies, as well as diarrhea. First, let the baby drink small amounts of water frequently and adopt a light, easily digestible diet. Avoid giving spicy foods to the baby, and pay close attention to rash care. Oral ribavirin granules and Pu-dilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid can be taken. If vomiting is severe, oral Jianwei Xiaoshi oral liquid and suspension can be used. Generally, it will gradually improve within about a week.
