Question
How can you diagnose hand, foot, and mouth disease in a child, and what treatment should be administered?
Answer
Based on patient descriptions, the main symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include oral ulcers and rashes on the hands and feet. It is recommended to receive regular treatment at a hospital, and attention should be paid to drinking plenty of water, eating a light diet, and consuming more fruits and vegetables, while avoiding seafood and spicy irritant foods. At the same time, children should be kept away from crowded public places. Once a child is found to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents should immediately take their child to a regular hospital for consultation and pay attention to the child’s care issues, including appropriate diet, avoiding cold foods, etc., to help the child recover as soon as possible.
