Question
There are small red blisters on my hands and feet, and also on my buttocks. There are ulcers in my mouth. I noticed the red blisters two days ago, but I just realized today. The doctor said it’s hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should it be treated?
Answer
If your baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents can still interact normally with their child, ensuring good ventilation indoors and maintaining personal hygiene. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is more common in children, with the highest incidence rate among those under three years old. Pay attention to isolation to prevent cross-infection. Diet should be light and easy to digest; avoid extremely cold and spicy foods. Wash hands frequently, ventilate more often, and frequently expose clothes and bedding to sunlight. Children are vulnerable to hand, foot, and mouth disease, so mothers must take their children to see a doctor immediately for treatment. Avoid using unverified over-the-counter medications and ensure appropriate medication. For parents, it’s crucial to closely observe any changes in your child’s symptoms to provide timely treatment as much as possible.
