Question
A child has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, with blisters appearing on the mouth and tongue, and many small rashes on the arm. The symptoms on the hands and feet are less pronounced. The child’s body temperature rose to 38.8 degrees Celsius in the afternoon of July 10th, and was confirmed by a doctor to have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Currently, the parents are concerned about whether medication should be continued during the treatment process?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral infectious disease that primarily affects children. If your child is not currently taking any medication, it is recommended to bring the child back to the clinic or hospital pediatric department for examination so that the doctor can prescribe an appropriate medication treatment plan based on the child’s specific condition. Ongoing medical monitoring and appropriate medication treatment will help the child recover faster. Follow the doctor’s instructions and closely observe any changes in your child’s condition.
