Question

Lately, my child has been said to be not in good spirits by the boss, affecting their work performance. Actually, I don’t want this either; I often can’t sleep at night and occasionally feel anxious, not feeling too comfortable. I’m worried that if the condition worsens, it might affect both my health and work. How should I handle if my one-year-old child gets hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Hand, foot, and mouth disease has various causes. If a child is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents should immediately cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including using gastrointestinal decompression methods, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention to not letting their child develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet. If fever symptoms occur, naproxen can be taken orally for treatment; for symptoms caused by oral ulcers, tin powder can be used for treatment.
