Question

My baby had hand, foot, and mouth disease before. The disease was almost healed when suddenly, two days ago, they started having diarrhea. What should I pay attention to? Do I need to go to the hospital? How many times a day of diarrhea is considered abnormal?

Answer

Hi there, the most common cause of these symptoms is viral infection, which is often related to transmission. The initial diagnosis is hand, foot, and mouth disease, and it’s best to treat it with medication. In such cases, oral ribavirin granules can be taken for treatment. Eating some light foods can also help improve the symptoms. It’s best to start medication treatment and observe promptly, or consider taking oral Qingkailing granules. I hope my response is helpful.
