Question
During the treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease in a baby, how can we alleviate the pain from large oral ulcers and promote recovery?
Answer
For patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease, if the oral ulcers are large and healing is slow after treatment, it is recommended to continue using medication, supplement a variety of vitamins, isolate at home, and consume plenty of fluids and vitamin C-rich juices such as watermelon or pear juice. The diet should be light and easy to digest, like sweet porridge or lotus root powder. If symptoms such as persistent high fever, incessant crying, headache, vomiting, or poor spirit occur, medical attention should be sought immediately as the condition may change, requiring further examination and treatment. Wishing the baby a quick recovery!
