Question
A 5-month-old girl was found to have red spots on her hands, feet, and buttocks yesterday. There are also two purulent spots in her mouth. She has no fever and is in good spirits. How can hand, foot, and mouth disease be diagnosed?
Answer
Based on your description, it is recommended to promptly administer oral antiviral medication to the child, such as Pudendan Lan. For oral ulcers, you can use regional treatments such as iodine glycerin, tin powder, or watermelon frost spray. Pay attention to ensuring the child drinks plenty of water and maintains personal hygiene! Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children, so it is advisable for parents to bring the child to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and treatment under the doctor’s guidance. In daily life, you can give the child some juice to aid digestion and vitamin absorption, prevent stomach troubles, and hope the child recovers quickly!
