Patient's question:
Fever and many rashes have also appeared on my hands. I'm very worried. I'd like to ask what is the nursing method for hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, primarily occurring in children under the age of 5. It can lead to blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. In rare cases, children may develop complications such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, and aseptic meningitis. If hand, foot, and mouth disease spreads rapidly, severely ill children may face death. If a child appears lethargic, has chills, feels cold, has cold extremities, rapid breathing, or a flushed face, fever care should be implemented, and their temperature should be measured immediately.
