Question
My one-year-and-eleven-month-old baby has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, with symptoms such as fever, poor appetite, and vomiting. How should I treat it?
Answer
For the treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease, first observe the baby’s mental state and whether there are symptoms such as vomiting or convulsions. If the baby is in good spirits and shows no signs of vomiting or convulsions, treatment can be focused on. At the same time, carefully monitor the progression of the illness and assist the baby in receiving timely treatment. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a process where the baby is fighting against a virus; fever is a normal response. It is recommended that mothers take their babies to see a doctor promptly to avoid various misconceptions. Parents should carefully observe their baby’s condition changes and do their best to help their baby receive timely treatment. Wishing your baby a quick recovery!
