Patient's question:
A child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, and I'm very worried. Without a fever, how long does it take to recover?Doctor's answer:
The clinical manifestations of hand, foot, and mouth disease include recurrent ulcers and similar conditions on the hands, feet, and mouth of children. If the child does not repeatedly experience fever, it indicates that the condition is not severe. After taking medication, full recovery can be expected within two weeks. During this period, children should eat light foods and drink plenty of plain water, avoiding spicy and oily foods. If the child repeatedly experiences coughing and fever, it indicates a worsening condition. In such cases, seek immediate medical treatment at a hospital.
