Patient's question:
Doctor. My baby has been saying her head hurts a bit recently, and she also doesn't like eating dinner. There are some small blisters on her hands, feet, and mouth. I'm not sure if this is hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hello doctor, what is the condition of hand, foot, and mouth disease like? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an intestinal infection, and treatment primarily focuses on antiviral medication. It is recommended to give your child oral antiviral medication. If there is a fever, you should also use fever-reducing medication. During this period, the diet should be light and avoid overly greasy foods to prevent them from affecting the treatment. Soft, easily digestible foods should be the basis of the diet. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and warmth, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
