Patient's question:
My baby has recently contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, with blisters in the mouth and sores on the hands, feet, and buttocks. I want to know what medicine should be applied for hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
This disease is more prone to recur in children under the age of 5. Both in summer and autumn, the incidence peaks in September. The typical onset process is moderate fever (with a temperature below 39℃), followed by a recurrence of sore throat. Children may exhibit symptoms such as drooling and refusal to eat. In addition to many small sores, hand, foot, and mouth disease often appears simultaneously. If diagnosed, it is essential to seek treatment at a regular hospital. Generally, without any complications, the recovery period is usually seven days. Do not take chances.
