Question
I had a fever four days ago and after careful examination, it was diagnosed as hand, foot, and mouth disease. I started taking the medicine prescribed last night and today, my child’s back and buttocks are covered in red rashes, and they keep saying their stomach hurts. How should I treat hand, foot, and mouth disease after a fever check four days ago?
Answer
Based on your description and clinical diagnosis symptoms, I consider it likely to be childhood rash or a drug rash. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be harmful to children. Once parents notice their child’s symptoms, they should take their child to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, pay close attention to the child’s diet. It is suggested to have proper nutrition, eat less spicy food that may affect digestion. Hope the child can receive professional treatment and recover!
