Patient's question:
My son recently caught hand, foot, and mouth disease at kindergarten. Now he has red spots all over his hands, feet, and mouth, and they are very itchy. I would like to consult a doctor on how to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease quickly in children. Are there any special precautions to be aware of?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease are generally required to undergo isolation treatment at the hospital. If the condition is mild, they can take oral preparations such as Banlangen granules or fever-reducing medication for treatment. It is recommended to avoid going to school temporarily to prevent sharing towels or cups with other children, thereby avoiding cross-infection. If the condition is severe, immediate medical treatment is necessary, and isolation measures should be adopted.
