Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My child has already been feeling itchy all over the body for the past two days, and some red bumps have appeared on their mouth and hands. I heard from others that this might be hand, foot, and mouth disease. Do you have to go to the hospital for diagnosis if it's hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Yes, if it's about hand, foot, and mouth disease, it's better to go to the hospital for confirmation. The doctor will decide on relevant medications based on the child's specific symptoms. Symptomatic treatment is the only way to be effective. Moreover, this disease is treatable, and the prognosis is generally good. Don't worry too much, and make sure to give the child plenty of hot water to drink. In terms of diet, a light diet should be the foundation, and avoid overly spicy or irritating foods. Rest more.
