Question
My baby has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should I do?
Answer
According to your description, even if fever-reducing medication is used excessively, it may only lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which should not be a major concern. I suggest you pay attention to your baby’s physical condition, expose them to sunlight more often, provide proper nutrition, and encourage outdoor activities to strengthen their immune system. If your child has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is important for parents to take them to a doctor for immediate medical treatment and avoid self-medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it’s crucial to monitor your child’s symptoms closely and do your best to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
