Patient's question:
The baby always drools, and it used to drool too, but not as much as recently. Yesterday, it had a low fever, and today, when eating sour things, it always cries and points at its mouth. About the past treatment and its effectiveness: No treatment was given. What kind of help is needed: Is the baby's current symptoms indicative of hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, I consider it not to be hand, foot, and mouth disease, but more like oral ulcers or herpangina. I suggest taking your child to the pediatric department of the hospital for an oral examination and diagnosis. After diagnosis, symptomatic treatment can be administered—such as oral ulcer powder or watermelon frost spray. Also, drink more water and eat more vitamin-rich foods, while avoiding spicy and irritating snacks. The above is my advice on this issue. I hope it will be helpful to you, and wish you a speedy recovery!
