Question
My daughter contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease last year, and now she’s showing similar symptoms. She doesn’t have a fever, but she has lost her appetite and is vomiting. I have given her ribavirin and buqilan, and have not used ceftriaxone. It’s the third day now, and the condition seems to be improving, but she still doesn’t want to eat and there are instances of vomiting. Do I need to take her to the hospital?
Answer
If you can confirm that your child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, which is caused by a viral infection, you can give your child oral medication for antiviral treatment for diseases caused by viral infections. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can have a significant impact on children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialized clinic for medical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is important to give your child enough care and attention, especially pay attention to their dietary issues, hoping that the child can recover soon.
