Question
Doctor, my daughter has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. The symptoms subsided after the fourth day of medication, but then they recurred. What could be the reason for the recurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
In such cases, it is first necessary to thoroughly investigate and identify the exact cause, differentiate from allergies and other conditions, and actively treat the condition. For hand, foot, and mouth disease, treatments like ribavirin and vitamin C can help alleviate symptoms and are often effective. It is recommended to follow the clinical diagnosis of the attending physician. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be quite harmful to children, so it is advisable for family members to bring the child to a specialist for a revisit and treat under the doctor’s guidance. In daily life, it is important to provide plenty of care and attention to the child, pay close attention to their diet, and hope that the child can recover as soon as possible!
