Question
My child is four years old. Yesterday, I noticed blisters in their throat, and the teacher suspected it might be hand, foot, and mouth disease. After visiting the hospital, the doctor advised us to go home and observe closely. Today, there has been improvement, and their mental state is good. Should I still go to the hospital for treatment if it’s improving?
Answer
I suggest you keep a close eye on your child’s current condition. If they develop a fever, I recommend continuing to observe and consider intravenous treatment. At the same time, be cautious not to let your child eat spicy food, as this may affect the recovery from hand, foot, and mouth disease. For children threatened by hand, foot, and mouth disease, mothers must take their children for immediate medical treatment to avoid any misconceptions. Treat promptly according to symptoms, monitor your child’s condition in a timely manner, and do your best to assist in their treatment.
