Prevention program for hand, foot and mouth disease in children, only in this case hospitalization is required…

Question 1: My baby has blisters on his palms and soles, and there are white patches on the tip of his tongue. The blood test says he has hand, foot and mouth disease. Does he need hospitalization? Is it okay to take medicine? In addition, the baby is crying a little at night. Today, the tongue coating is white and thick, and he is drooling. What should I do? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: If your baby has symptoms such as fever, low energy, lethargy, difficulty breathing, fatigue, or pale complexion, he needs to be hospitalized in time. But if the child is in good spirits, has no fever, and does not need to be hospitalized, general home care will be enough. Now you can take antiviral oral liquid, apply acyclovir ointment, and spray Throat Sword spray in your mouth. Parents should cook some light, easy-to-digest food for their babies at home, let them drink more boiled water, and wash their hands frequently. The room should be regularly opened for ventilation to keep the air fresh and circulated. Do not go to crowded, crowded or unventilated places. Question 2: A baby over two months old has developed dry cough and retching in the past two days. I had 2 dry coughs last night and almost 3 dry coughs in an hour during the day. Doctor Wang Yanli answered: Children over two months old sweat in summer and may develop dry cough due to thirst. In addition, you can give your child a drink of water before going to bed every night to clean the mouth, maintain oral hygiene, and avoid nausea and retching. If you have too frequent dry cough, consider chronic inflammation of the throat or tracheobronchial inflammation, and you need to seek medical diagnosis before taking medication. Question 3: The weather has been hot and cold recently, and my 7-month-old baby has a runny nose. How can I relieve it without taking medicine? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: Use a warm towel to compress your nose and spray physiological sea salt water nasal spray. This has no side effects.
