Patient's question:
My child suddenly had a fever at kindergarten. Later, it was said that there were children with hand, foot, and mouth disease in the class. They had already stopped paying attention to my child's hands, and later noticed a few red spots on their hands. There are none on their feet now. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, the doctor said it wasn't hand, foot, and mouth disease. Could you tell me what the characteristics of hand, foot, and mouth disease are?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease mainly appears as numerous red spots on the mouth, hands, and feet. Moreover, it is also a contagious disease. Generally, using antiviral traditional Chinese medicine can achieve very effective treatment results. Because there are also red spots in the mouth with hand, foot, and mouth disease, children cannot eat spicy foods, especially those that are very sour, sweet, or salty, as these can irritate the child. It is better to cook porridge and vegetables for the child every day, which is also beneficial for a complete recovery.
