Question

The child has no fever, blisters, diarrhea, and is still in good spirits. They cry while feeding, and the illness has been ongoing for two days. They have previously taken Ribavirin orally. What kind of help is needed now?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, the child’s diarrhea may be one of the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Currently, you can give the child Lactobacillus granules and switch to anti-emetic formula milk. Additionally, oral rehydration salts can be used to prevent dehydration, and a fresh thin porridge can be prepared for consumption.
