Question
A one-year-old baby had hand, foot, and mouth disease earlier in the year, accompanied by myocarditis. Now, the baby has a cold with clear yellow nasal discharge and wheezing symptoms. There’s a trembling sensation when touching the back. What treatment should be considered for a previously diagnosed hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, this is typically caused by an upper respiratory infection. It’s important to keep warm and drink plenty of water. It is recommended to take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as children’s paracetamol granules. Maintain good indoor air circulation, closely monitor the condition, and seek further medical examination and treatment if necessary. Hand, foot, and mouth disease may have an impact on the child. It is advised that parents bring their child to a specialist clinic for a follow-up consultation and treat under the doctor’s guidance. In daily life, you can give your child some fruit juice to aid digestion and supplement vitamins, prevent diarrhea, and wish for the child’s early recovery.
