Question
The four-year-old child has just started showing blisters in the mouth, a slight fever, and red spots on the hands. After six days of treatment, the fever has subsided, and the blisters inside the mouth have decreased significantly. The symptoms on the hands are also improving. Apart from one blister in the mouth being slightly red, it’s now been seven days. Hello, can the child fully recover without treatment?
Answer
Once hand, foot, and mouth disease is diagnosed, immediate treatment should be sought. The disease primarily requires antiviral treatment and attention to personal hygiene. It’s also important to avoid spicy and irritating foods. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have severe effects on children. If parents notice their child showing related symptoms, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for a consultation. They should also pay attention to the child’s care and suggest a reasonable diet, avoiding cold and cool foods. It is hoped that the child will receive appropriate treatment and recover as soon as possible!
