Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what to pay attention to regarding hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily caused by gastrointestinal viral infections. If someone in the child's kindergarten has hand, foot, and mouth disease, the child can be given antiviral medication for prevention. After contracting hand, foot, and mouth disease, the main measure is to implement protective isolation to prevent transmission to other children. The early symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease vary among children. Blisters may reappear on the hands, feet, and mouth, and many children may also experience fever.
