Question
The child has been running a fever for three consecutive days. Routine blood tests confirmed hand, foot, and mouth disease. The body temperature reached 39 degrees Celsius and did not subside. The child is listless and often in a drowsy state, with vomiting during meals.
Answer
After being diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, interferon medications can be used for treatment, which typically takes two weeks to heal. Pay attention to keeping warm. If vomiting is severe, it is recommended to undergo intravenous treatment. In daily life, pay attention to a balanced diet, light food, regular lifestyle, stable mood, avoid overexertion and catching colds, which all help in the recovery from viral infection. Hand, foot, and mouth disease poses a greater risk to children. Once parents notice symptoms in their child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for treatment and pay close attention to the child’s dietary issues. It is recommended to have a reasonable diet, avoid eating cold and raw foods. It is hoped that the child can receive professional treatment and recover soon.
