Patient's question:
Doctor, when my daughter went to the hospital for a thorough examination today, the doctor said she has hand, foot, and mouth disease, and also prescribed some medicine for her. However, I would still like to understand how to treat it if my daughter gets hand, foot, and mouth disease again in the future? Is there anything special to pay attention to in her diet?Doctor's answer:
Your child's hand, foot, and mouth disease may be related to viral transmission. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is also contagious and requires isolation treatment. General treatment can include oral antiviral medications. Your child should drink plenty of warm water, pay attention to skin hygiene, and maintain a light diet. However, avoid foods that cause stomach upset and foods that are considered "trigger foods." If the hand, foot, and mouth disease is accompanied by severe fever, hospitalization may be necessary for close observation.
