Question
My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease with a fever of 37 to 38 degrees, with blisters in the mouth and throat, red spots on the hands, and also on the feet. The child is now four years old. How should I treat my child’s hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, it is likely that your child has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease due to a viral infection. Don’t worry; I suggest you let your baby drink plenty of water and consider visiting the infectious diseases department of a hospital for a thorough check-up and treatment to ensure your child recovers quickly. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children, so I recommend taking your child to a specialist for follow-up consultations and treatment under the doctor’s guidance. In daily life, you can give your child some juice to aid digestion and vitamin absorption, prevent stomach upset, and hope for a quick recovery!
