What should I do if my child gets hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

Today morning I noticed some blisters in my daughter's mouth and a few on her hands and feet. She is in good spirits and sleeping well. In the afternoon, she doesn't have much appetite and only drank some milk formula. It was 5 days ago that I noticed this condition at the kindergarten. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is mainly considered to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. This disease is primarily caused by a virus. The injections and medications you gave your child are appropriate. Your child's condition is currently in the developmental stage, so it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for treatment to avoid missing the opportunity for timely care. Rest well, enhance nutrition, and provide your child with plenty of warm water. Avoid spicy, irritating, greasy, and fried foods. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
