Patient's question:
Does hand, foot, and mouth disease hurt? How come our child has been crying after getting hand, foot, and mouth disease, saying it hurts?Doctor's answer:
Having hand, foot, and mouth disease can lead to ulcers and pain. Oral medication for clearing heat and detoxifying, or antiviral drugs, can be taken. If the pain is severe, children can be given blood-activating medication. Pay attention to diet, drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid greasy and spicy foods. Pay attention to hygiene, wash hands with soap before meals and after using the toilet, take a bath every day, and try not to take children to crowded places or poorly ventilated areas.
