Question
How should one effectively treat hand, foot, and mouth disease blisters?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a childhood infectious disease also known as vesicular stomatitis. It predominantly affects children under the age of 5, causing blisters on the hands, feet, mouth, and other parts of the body. In rare cases, complications such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, and aseptic meningitis can occur. If the condition progresses rapidly, many critically ill children may face life-threatening situations. Mild cases can be managed with antiviral, anti-infection, and systemic supportive treatments. Severe patients should also closely monitor changes in vital signs, particularly the functions of the brain, lungs, and heart. Special attention should be paid to monitoring blood pressure, blood gas predictions, and chest X-rays for severe patients.
