Question
The child suddenly developed a fever and was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, with small blisters appearing all over the body. How should it be treated?
Answer
The baby’s fever may be caused by viral infection or catching a cold, with an initial diagnosis of viral hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to take ribavirin granules orally and pay attention to prevent inflammation from spreading. At the same time, consuming foods rich in vitamins can help with recovery. Hand, foot, and mouth disease may have recurrent fevers, so it is suggested to bring the child to a specialist for follow-up and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Daily consumption of juice can aid digestion and prevent diarrhea, hoping the child can recover quickly.
