Patient's question:
My own child, for some unknown reason, got infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease. We took him to the hospital immediately, but standing there, he was in particular pain. How long does hand, foot, and mouth disease take to stop hurting?Doctor's answer:
It's not necessary to worry because it will hurt at first, but you can take many anti-inflammatory medications to recover quickly. Based on your condition, I can tell you that the duration of recovery for hand, foot, and mouth disease in children varies from person to person. If the condition is mild, it may take about a week. Provide easily digestible liquid or semi-liquid diets to reduce irritation to the oral mucosa. Use physiological saline to rinse your face before and after bowel movements. For oral ulcers, you can apply iodine glycerin to achieve anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
