Question
My one and a half-year-old baby has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. After undergoing nebulization treatment and taking medication, I noticed today that there are many small blisters on the soles of his feet and arms, as well as several ulcers in his mouth. How should I handle this situation, and do I need to be transferred to a hospital?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common illness in infants and young children, characterized by symptoms such as fever, oral ulcers, and small blisters on the hands, feet, and sometimes the buttocks. Treatment recommendations include taking traditional Chinese medicine, seeking medical diagnosis and following medical instructions, using ice cream or bentonite powder to relieve oral discomfort, and maintaining good oral hygiene. If symptoms worsen or there is no improvement, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
