Patient's question:
Doctor, my child has developed many blisters at kindergarten, and now they have a fever. My friend asked me if my child might have hand, foot, and mouth disease, but I'm not sure myself. I'm very worried and would like to ask the doctor how to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease and how to solve this issue?Doctor's answer:
The child has developed many blisters after returning from kindergarten and is still running a fever. This situation raises suspicion of chickenpox or hand, foot, and mouth disease, which typically involves mouth ulcers and red spots on the palms and soles. It is recommended that you first carefully observe the situation. Oral antiviral medication and fever-reducing drugs can be administered for treatment. Apply some antiviral ointment externally, drink plenty of plain water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of greasy and spicy foods. Pay attention to hygiene, bathe the child daily, and avoid taking them to crowded places as much as possible.
