Question
What should I do if my child has hand, foot, and mouth disease? This morning, I found that my daughter has a lot of blisters in her mouth and a few on her hands and feet as well. She is in good spirits and sleeping well. Today, she received an antiviral injection, but she has a fever of 38 degrees at night. I don’t know how to treat it.
Answer
Hello, based on your description, your child may have hand, foot, and mouth disease. This condition is primarily caused by a virus. The antiviral injection you gave your child is appropriate. The current stage of the child’s illness is in development. I suggest you take your child to the hospital for a timely medical consultation to avoid delaying the condition. At the same time, make sure your child gets enough rest, enhances nutrition, drinks plenty of water, and avoids giving them spicy, stimulating and greasy foods. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
