Patient's question:
The tip of the tongue has blisters, no fever, cough, or other symptoms. The condition has been present for 5 days.Test results: When I went to the hospital, the doctor said to take ribavirin and honeysuckle, and no follow-up visit is needed.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: When can I go back to school, and do I need isolation?
What should I pay attention to in terms of diet?
Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, which can lead to blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, accompanied by fever. If there are no complications, it usually improves within about 7 days. Currently, isolation is still recommended, and children can return to school 3 days after recovery. This condition is generally treated with antiviral and symptomatic therapies. For blisters on the hands and feet, calamine lotion can be applied. During this period, it is important to drink plenty of fluids, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
