Question
Recently, a kindergarten has experienced a large-scale outbreak of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, with many children showing symptoms such as fever and headache, which were diagnosed as Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. Parents are concerned about this and are eager to know what they should pay attention to when facing Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease.
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is caused by viral infection and is closely related to personal hygiene habits. Firstly, children’s personal hygiene should be strengthened by encouraging them to wash their hands frequently and avoid them from suckling their fingers. Additionally, encourage children to drink more water, pay attention to keeping warm, avoid catching a cold, and reduce visits to crowded places. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral antiviral medications can be administered to the child. If the condition is severe, intravenous fluid therapy may be required in conjunction with treatment.
