How to prevent hand, foot and mouth disease in babies? Antibiotics should not be used indiscriminately…

The problem is that my child has red spots in his mouth, blisters like oral ulcers, and red spots on his hands and feet. The body temperature was the highest on the afternoon of the 16th, at 38.1°C. At first, there was a small amount of white foam in the mouth. After feeding Xiaoerguqiaoqingre and cefprozil, the body temperature dropped to 37.6℃. My body temperature returned to normal on the 18th, and my mouth hurt, so I sprayed Throat Sword Children\’s Spray. I have been taking the medicine for three days now and my diet is normal. Do I still need to continue taking it? I no longer have cefprozil, but I have amoxicillin dry suspension at home. Can I replace it? Dr. He Jiexin’s answer: I think it’s hand, foot and mouth disease. With this disease, the mouth is prone to pain. It usually takes about a week for hand, foot and mouth symptoms to get better, and it is easy to be complicated by bacterial infection, so the above medicine needs to be taken for another two or three days. Eat a light diet at ordinary times. Always pay attention to the child\’s mental state. If he is not in good spirits or has vomiting, go to the hospital. It is best not to change antibiotics casually. Antibiotics are different from other drugs. Repeated changes may lead to drug resistance. If antibiotics are not effective in the future, they should be used for at least three days. The child is currently taking cefprozil effectively, and it is recommended to continue taking it. Question 2: The child’s vulva was injured, and the wound was on the labia minora. I went to the hospital and the doctor said to wash her with warm water every day and then apply medicine. Can the child take a bath now? Does she need to wash it with water every time after peeing? Will adhesion occur if not taken care of well? Dr. Xu Lijuan’s answer: Do not take a bath for the time being, and do not use a towel to wipe the wound. Just use complex iodine to disinfect your buttocks after urinating. There is no need to clean it. Try to keep your buttocks as dry as possible. In addition, spreading your legs while sleeping to allow your butt to dry out will help with healing. Question: A one-year-old and three-month-old baby is anemic. Hemoglobin 81 was over 90 after a period of supplementation. Is the baby\’s anemia serious? If the medicine is supplemented, do I still need to continue taking supplements? Should we check the cause of anemia in our children? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: The baby is moderately anemic and needs to continue to supplement blood. After that, you still need to continue to take supplements, because the child is in the growth stage and has a faster metabolism, so the amount required will naturally be larger. You can check it out. Children generally have iron deficiency anemia. It will be more reassuring to find out the cause specifically.
