Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is 5 years old. He got hand, foot, and mouth disease at kindergarten and brought it home. I'm very worried, so I want to ask the doctor how to treat pediatric hand, foot, and mouth disease? What should I pay attention to when my child has hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is very easy to spread among children, so once a child is found to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is essential to isolate the child to prevent infection in other children. The treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily symptomatic and supportive. Children with recurrent high fever can take acetaminophen orally to reduce fever, children with oral blisters can use Yiner Tong for local spraying, and those with infections can be treated with antibiotics.
