Question
What should I do if my 9-month-old baby has a blister on their thumb?
Answer
Don’t worry, as long as the baby doesn’t have a fever, it’s usually not something to be overly concerned about. Even if it’s diagnosed as hand, foot, and mouth disease, treatment can be relatively easy as long as there’s no fever. If the area around the blister is red or painful, you can use antiviral medications like Acyclovir ointment for treatment. Additionally, it’s recommended to visit the hospital for a check-up and diagnosis before starting targeted treatment. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby a healthy recovery!
