Patient's question:
My baby is attending kindergarten, and unfortunately, they got hand, foot, and mouth disease from another child. This is causing me great distress, and my whole family is very anxious. We're unsure of what to do, so now we'd like to consult a doctor. We want to ask how to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease in children.Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by a viral infection. It is generally more common in children under the age of 5. Hand, foot, and mouth disease usually manifests symptoms such as fever and the appearance of blisters. In severe cases, it can also affect the nervous system. Therefore, if the hand, foot, and mouth disease is mild, medication can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If the hand, foot, and mouth disease is more serious, hospitalization treatment is required.
