Question
A 5.5-year-old child has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease but is not feverish but vomited during dinner. How should a 5.5-year-old child with a confirmed diagnosis of hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, the initial consideration is a viral infection caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, eat light and easily digestible foods, and take ribavirin antiviral oral solution appropriately. Keep a close eye on the symptoms and if they do not subside, seek hospital intravenous treatment. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be very harmful to children. Once the mother notices any symptoms in her child, she should immediately take her child to a regular hospital for a diagnosis. At the same time, pay more attention to the child’s care issues. It is suggested to have more light and healthy diets and eat less spicy or irritating food. We hope the child can receive symptomatic treatment and recover!
