Patient's question:
Because there are many cases of influenza in spring, bacteria thrive, and children's immunity is particularly weak. So, I cleaned my child, but my child's hands were itchy, and I didn't know the reason. It's not yet certain if it's hand, foot, and mouth disease. What are the initial symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease in babies?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly caused by airborne droplets and contact transmission. If there are children around with hand, foot, and mouth disease, and there is a clear history of direct contact, accompanied by fever, or red small blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, it can be diagnosed as hand, foot, and mouth disease. Some babies may also experience poor spirits, decreased appetite, or symptoms of upper respiratory infection, such as drooling, sore throat, and refusal to eat. Once diagnosed, the first priority is to isolate the patient and maintain hand hygiene and sterilization. Oral antiviral granules and Pu-dilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid can be taken.
