Patient's question:
I always remind you to wash your hands frequently, and to wash your face before meals and after using the toilet. Yet, he still got infected and brought home hand, foot, and mouth disease. With this illness, every time the child cries, I feel extremely heartbroken. I would like to ask, what should be done about hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common infectious disease, primarily caused by poor dietary hygiene. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take many anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral medications to maintain body cleanliness and hygiene, clean the skin promptly, and thoroughly eliminate bacteria. Help children develop good hygiene habits, such as washing their faces before meals and after using the restroom, not eating unclean food, washing their faces in the morning and evening on time, and maintaining oral hygiene. If recovery is not complete after a long time, it is also recommended to visit a hospital for a check-up.
