Patient's question:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease, which just recovered half a month ago, has only been sick for half a month. Because of coughing, I took medicine for a month. Today, I took a photo to show the doctor, and the doctor said it was a sequelae of hand, foot, and mouth disease. I want to consult an online doctor, wondering if there are such cases? Nail beds are peeling off! At first, only one finger was affected, but after a few days, there were several fingers showing this symptom.Doctor's answer:
The treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease is divided into general treatment and combined treatment. If it is general treatment, the first step should be to isolate the baby to prevent cross-infection. Secondly, oral care should be well-maintained to keep the baby's mouth clean. The baby's clothes and bedding should be cleaned frequently in daily life and kept dry. When necessary, (qīng rè jiě dú) Chinese herbal medicines or antiviral drugs can be taken for treatment.If it is combined treatment, it is usually adopted when the condition is more severe. If symptoms such as difficulty breathing or respiratory failure appear, ventilation treatment should be initiated as soon as possible, and blood pressure should be maintained stable, as well as the balance of water and electrolytes.
