Patient's question:
I and my husband finally gave birth successfully last year, and this year we welcomed our little baby. So far, he has been eight months old. The whole family loves and takes good care of him. During this time, I noticed that the baby keeps drooling a lot, and it seems to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should I deal with hand, foot, and mouth disease in an eight-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Hello. The child has a viral infection and needs to use medication promptly for antiviral treatment. There may also be a recurrence of unstable body temperature. It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital and follow the doctor's guidance for detailed medication treatment. Pay attention to keeping the child's hygiene clean, ensure a balanced diet, and frequently measure the child's temperature. Give the child an appropriate amount of water to drink.
