Question
This morning, I found a blister in my child’s mouth and went to the hospital. The doctor didn’t confirm it as hand, foot, and mouth disease. By noon, the blisters in the mouth had turned white and started to hurt. This morning, the ulcers became more apparent, and it’s painful for them to eat. Do they need to be hospitalized? We’re worried about complications like encephalitis.
Answer
Hello, based on the description, this condition could be a viral infection or possibly hand, foot, and mouth disease. For typical hand, foot, and mouth disease, the aforementioned treatment measures are correct. It is recommended that if your child exhibits symptoms such as poor spirits, drowsiness, irritability, and headaches, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. If these symptoms are not present, you can continue to use the aforementioned medication for treatment, which will be very effective. It is suggested that patients seek treatment at a regular hospital.
