Patient's question:
The baby had red spots on their hands again on Friday morning. The doctor suspected mild hand, foot, and mouth disease, saying the symptoms were not obvious, and prescribed medication for four days. No fever, good spirits. By Sunday, the red spots on the hands had disappeared, and the inside of the mouth was normal. Seven days later, on Friday, can the baby go to kindergarten? If not, can they go on Monday nine days later?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, most cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease have mild symptoms, primarily characterized by fever and rashes or blisters on the hands, feet, mouth, and other areas. If there are no complications, most children with hand, foot, and mouth disease can recover completely within a week. The treatment principle is mainly symptomatic relief, and vitamin B, vitamin C, and antiviral drugs can be taken. Prevention involves paying attention to children's hygiene and regular check-ups are recommended.
