Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Is hand, foot, and mouth disease serious?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an intestinal viral disease that primarily affects four parts: hands, feet, mouth, and hips. It does not necessarily recur in the same patient. All blisters and rashes usually fade within a week. The following treatments are typically recommended. Pay attention to isolation to prevent cross-infection, oral care, appropriate fever reduction, and increased fluid intake. If the child is in good spirits, without fever, shivering, or other symptoms, symptomatic treatment can be provided.
