When my child was in kindergarten, he was infected with hand, foot and mouth disease by other classmates. After children suffer from hand, foot and mouth disease, it is necessary to take good care of them in daily life through medication control, so as to prevent the further development of hand, foot and mouth disease and allow it to slowly recover. So, how to care for children with hand, foot and mouth disease?
When a child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is important to encourage them to drink plenty of water. At this time, the child may have a fever. If the child's body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, they can cool down by drinking warm water, taking a warm bath, or other methods; If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, it is necessary to take antipyretic medication in a timely manner to achieve the desired antipyretic effect.
Parents should prepare a light and easily digestible diet for their children with hand, foot, and mouth disease. They should be careful not to give their children spicy, stimulating, fried, or cold foods. If a child cannot eat too much, parents should not force themselves to continue eating. They can eat less and eat more, increasing the frequency of meals.
Due to the appearance of a rash on the child's skin at this time, especially blisters on the hands or body skin, parents need to take good care of it and not particularly break it. When taking a shower, avoid using soap, shower gel, or other chemical substances to scrub. If the blisters on the child's skin are not yet healed, do not take the child out and let them stay at home and rest more.
