Question
My child has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. The family doesn’t know what to do? How should it be treated?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease often appears as small grayish or red spots or blisters around the cheeks, tongue, soft palate, hard palate, inner lips, hands, feet, heart, elbows, knees, buttocks, forearms, fingers, and toes, resembling the size of millet or mung beans. Sometimes accompanied by low-grade fever. Allow the baby to rest more and eat a light and easy-to-digest diet. Additionally, if the infant shows signs of intellectual impairment, persistent high fever, muscle tremors, rapid breathing, vomiting, etc., it indicates a serious condition and it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Lastly, wish the baby a healthy growth!
