Patient's question:
The child is one and a half years old. Today, they have a fever above 38 degrees Celsius, with red spots appearing on their hands, mouth, and feet. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said: "The blood tests are fine. Go home and wait for two more days to see if it improves."Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is mostly mild in most cases, primarily characterized by fever and rashes or blisters on the hands, feet, mouth, and other areas. If there are no complications, most children with hand, foot, and mouth disease can recover within a week. The main treatment principle is symptomatic treatment, which can include taking vitamin B, vitamin C, and antiviral medications. Prevention involves paying attention to children's hygiene.
