Sudden illness? Treatment of hand foot mouth disease symptoms

First: symptoms of hand, mouth and foot disease: 1. Most of the children have a sudden onset. The first manifestation is a high fever, the body temperature is more than 38 degrees, accompanied by headache, cough, runny nose and other symptoms. The body temperature continues. The higher the body temperature is, the longer the course of disease is, the more serious the disease is. 2. When children have fever or fever for 1-2 days, herpes can be seen in their oral mucosa and lips. Ulcers will be formed after herpes rupture, and the pain is severe. Children often show discomfort such as irritability, crying, drooling and not eating. 3. 1-2 days after oral herpes, skin spots and papules can be seen on the palms of hands, feet and small buttocks of the children, most of which are on the center of feet. The herpes is round or oval, flat, small to grain of rice, large to pea, hard, with turbid liquid inside. The rash is surrounded by a red halo. 4. The rash of HFMD in children rarely appears on the trunk and face. It usually subsides in about 7 days without scar or imprint. 5. HFMD in children is a mild self-healing disease. Most of the children have a good prognosis. A few severe children can be complicated with myocarditis and encephalitis, but the possibility is very small. 6. The whole course of the disease will end in about one week. Generally, there will be no serious consequences. As long as the nursing is proper, there will be no pigment marks or scars on the skin.

Second, HFMD is an infectious disease, which is mainly transmitted through three ways: respiratory tract, digestive tract and contact. Therefore, first of all, avoid contact with other sick children, so as to prevent respiratory tract transmission. Secondly, drink more boiled water, eat less raw food, and try to avoid digestive tract transmission. Finally, don't often take children to crowded and closed environment. Take children to open space. The tabletops and toys contacted by children around should also be properly disinfected to prevent contact transmission. The prevention of HFMD is very simple, and these simplest methods are often the most effective. Once the child is found to have HFMD, if it is mild HFMD, take some heat clearing and detoxification Chinese medicine, and give the child more water. If the child's temperature is higher, you can use some antipyretic drugs. But generally speaking, we don't advocate parents to treat their children themselves. It's better to lead their children to the hospital to listen to the doctor's advice and let the doctor give you a professional judgment. If the child's diet is poor, the hospital usually uses the method of intravenous injection to give nutrition, for other symptoms will also take some measures.

Third: in general, 98% of HFMD patients are mild patients, generally without serious problems. Parents should not be blindly nervous about HFMD, but they should not ignore HFMD. The correct way is to carefully observe the children's daily temperature, mental status, and whether there are convulsions. Once children have mild symptoms of HFMD, they should stabilize the child's condition and have children for 3-5 days The child's condition is stable, generally self-healing, otherwise should be sent to see a doctor in time.

matters needing attention

The key to prevent HFMD is to pay attention to the sanitation of family and surrounding environment and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wash hands with soap or hand sanitizer before meals, after defecation and after going out; don't drink raw water or eat raw and cold food; the room should be ventilated frequently; and frequently dry clothes and quilts. During the epidemic period, do not take children to crowded public places with poor air circulation, and avoid contacting sick children. During the epidemic period, check the children's skin (mainly palms and soles of feet) and oral cavity every morning, and pay attention to the changes of children's body temperature.
