Patient's question:
My daughter is only nine months old. The other day, I took her to the mall, and as a result, she contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. Since then, she has been experiencing nausea and vomiting, accompanied by low-grade fever. I would like to consult a doctor. For a nine-month-old child with hand, foot, and mouth disease, how can we alleviate symptoms such as diarrhea and fever?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease can manifest with symptoms such as diarrhea and fever. It is recommended that you hospitalize the child for close observation. Additionally, improve blood routine tests and stool routine tests. Pay close attention to the changes in the palms and soles, as well as the condition of oral ulcers. Also, monitor for complications, such as poor mental state, nausea, and vomiting. Further enzyme-related tests may also be considered. Fever is primarily managed symptomatically.
