Question
Can hand, foot, and mouth disease patients in the early stages use iodine tincture?
Answer
An one-year-old girl is suffering from hand, foot, and mouth disease, and her skin rash on hands and feet has been scratched by the baby. To prevent transmission, iodine tincture can be applied to the scratched areas to prevent infection. To prevent the baby from constantly scratching, iodine tincture can be used for disinfection. Pay close attention to the skin rash of hand, foot, and mouth disease, body temperature, and mental state. If necessary, visit a hospital for a follow-up consultation. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. Once parents notice any symptoms in their child, they should take their child to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, pay more attention to the child’s diet issues. It is recommended to have more light food and less spicy food that may affect health. We hope that the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
