Question
Hand, foot, and mouth disease has been going on for a week now. The blisters have dried up, and there are no blisters in the mouth anymore. Do I still need to continue taking medication?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby’s symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease have disappeared, indicating an improvement in the condition. You can stop taking medication at this point. Make sure to give your child plenty of water, maintain a light diet, allow them to rest well, and observe them for two days. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be a serious issue for children. If parents notice any symptoms in their children, they should take them to a regular hospital for immediate medical attention. Pay attention to the child’s care issues and recommend a reasonable diet, avoiding cold foods. We hope the child can receive professional treatment and recover soon.
