Question
A child has blisters on the palm of their right hand and three skin-colored bumps. They have already received intravenous treatment at a hospital two days ago. Is hand, foot, and mouth disease suitable for medication treatment?
Answer
For young children, it is not recommended to use ointments as they may contain hormones that could have adverse effects on their bodies and skin. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a self-limiting condition, and parents should not be overly concerned. If a child exhibits symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease, they should be taken to a regular hospital for treatment immediately. Pay attention to a balanced diet in daily life to promote the child’s recovery.
