Question
The baby’s hands and feet are peeling off, except for the mouth. The baby is not feverish now and eating well. I want to know when I can stop the medication.
Answer
Wait until the blisters burst. Your baby’s body temperature is now normal. Generally, you should take the medication for about 7 days, wait until the blisters inside the mouth almost disappear and the blisters on the feet have mostly receded before stopping the medication! Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. Once parents notice their child’s symptoms, they should immediately take their child to a regular hospital for a diagnosis. At the same time, pay more attention to the child’s care issues. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet and nutrition in daily life, hoping that the child can receive appropriate treatment and recover!
