Question
If a child shows symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease, including red spots on the lips and tongue appearing after a fever, what treatment should be considered?
Answer
If a child exhibits symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is recommended to first visit the hospital for a detailed examination. After confirming the diagnosis of hand, foot, and mouth disease, consider using antiviral medications and antibiotic anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. At the same time, encourage the child to drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, and avoid excessive intake of sweets, cold foods, and greasy foods. Parents should pay attention to the child’s nutrition and rest, avoid excessive exposure to the sun to prevent a decrease in resistance. Additionally, regularly clean the child’s toys and other items to reduce virus transmission.
