Question
A child developed a fever of 38.5 degrees two days ago, and after the fever subsided, red spots appeared again on the third day, distributed on the hands, feet, armpits, face, and buttocks. How should treatment be conducted for children with recurring hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
When facing recurring conditions in hand, foot, and mouth disease in children, the treatment plan should be determined based on the child’s mental state and dietary status to decide whether intravenous treatment is necessary. If the child is currently in good mental condition and has normal eating habits, oral medications can be adjusted without the need for forced intravenous administration. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children’s health. Parents should immediately take their children to a regular hospital for a consultation once they notice related symptoms and pay attention to their children’s care in daily life, ensuring a balanced intake of nutrition to promote effective treatment and recovery.
