Patient's question:
During the summer, infectious diseases become more severe. In my child's class, one child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, with peeling on their hands and mouth. This disease is highly contagious. Today, I noticed that my child has peeling in their mouth, but not on their hands or feet. I'm not sure if it's hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
The current condition of the child does not rule out the possibility of infection. It is important to pay close attention to monitoring any changes in the baby's body temperature. This illness is caused by a viral infection and may lead to symptoms such as recurrent fever. At this stage, the early symptoms of the disease may not be very obvious. You can first take the child to the pediatric department of the hospital for blood tests and other examinations. After the doctor makes a diagnosis, follow the doctor's advice on medication. Generally, it is recommended to use a variety of antiviral medications and traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying to treat the condition.
