Question
Recently, my baby has developed many small blisters on their hands and feet, and they also have oral ulcers, making eating and sleeping difficult. This condition hasn’t appeared before. I took them to a children’s hospital, and the doctor said they have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Therefore, I would like to ask about the symptoms and treatment methods for this disease.
Answer
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common infectious disease in children. The typical symptoms include fever, followed by the appearance of red blisters on the skin of the hands, feet, buttocks, and mouth one to two days after the fever subsides. The symptoms are quite distinctive, making diagnosis straightforward. Treatment primarily involves symptomatic care and antiviral therapy, although the latter is often not very effective. Treatment with Bairei Granules can be considered. The above information can serve as a reference.
