Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Can you please advise on the treatment for a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, with persistent high fever that doesn't subside, blisters on the throat, hands, and feet. In this case, it is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for intravenous treatment or give them a fever-reducing muscle injection. Alternatively, you can give the child oral antiviral medication and apply antiviral ointment externally. It is important to ensure the child drinks plenty of plain water, eats more vegetables and fruits, and avoids greasy and spicy foods. Try to minimize taking the child to crowded places and keep the indoor environment well-ventilated.
