Question
Two days after the onset of hand, foot, and mouth disease, there are blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, and the baby refuses to eat but does not have a fever. How many days will it take to completely recover? Will there be any restrictions after recovery? Will it recur?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a common childhood illness caused by enteroviruses that requires active treatment and symptomatic management. It is recommended to frequently measure the baby’s body temperature; if it is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, medication can be used proactively to control symptoms. Additionally, the baby should drink plenty of water and pay attention to oral and skin care. Antiviral medications can be used if necessary. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can be harmful to children, so if symptoms are detected, children should be taken to a regular hospital for immediate medical attention. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet; it is suggested to provide light meals and avoid spicy foods. We hope the baby can receive effective treatment and recover quickly.
