It is the high season for baby hand, foot and mouth disease. Parents must be careful. The early stage of hand, foot and mouth disease is the ulcer in the baby's mouth. Many parents tend to treat the baby's mouth ulcer as a common internal heat to avoid delaying the disease. Generally, when babies suffer from hand, foot and mouth disease, most of them first appear from the baby's mouth to the outside, such as lips, cheeks, tongue, etc. Once found, seek medical attention as soon as possible to achieve early detection and early treatment. Babies with hand, foot and mouth disease can be sprayed with Fenmu oral antibacterial spray. Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common infectious disease caused by a variety of human enteroviruses, mainly affecting infants and young children. Most children have mild symptoms, characterized by fever and rashes or herpes on the hands, feet, mouth, etc. A small number of children may suffer from damage to the central nervous system and respiratory system, causing aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, neurogenic pulmonary edema and myocarditis. Some severely ill children progress rapidly and are prone to death. 1. During the illness, the care of the child should be strengthened and oral hygiene should be maintained. Before and after eating, you can rinse your mouth with saline or warm water. Liquid and semi-liquid foods are suitable. 2. Vitamin B2 powder can be applied directly to the oral erosion area, or cod liver oil can be applied. Vitamin B2 and vitamin C can also be taken orally, supplemented by ultrasonic atomization inhalation to relieve pain and promote the early healing of erosion. 3. Wash the hands of children with soap or hand sanitizer before meals, after defecation, and after going out. Do not let children drink raw water, eat raw and cold food, and avoid contact with sick children. 4. Caregivers should wash their hands before contacting children, changing diapers for young children, and handling feces, and properly dispose of waste. 5. During the epidemic period of this disease, it is not advisable to take children to public places where people gather and air circulation is poor. Pay attention to maintaining the hygiene of the family environment, ventilate the room frequently, and dry clothes and quilts frequently. The general symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease are as follows: (1) Acute onset, incubation period of 3-5 days, with prodromal symptoms such as low fever, general discomfort, abdominal pain, etc. Scattered painful millet-sized to mung bean-sized blisters appear on the oral mucosa, and maculopapular rashes and herpes appear on the hands and feet. The initial onset is maculopapular rashes, which later turn into herpes. They are round or oval, about 3-7mm, like the size of rice grains, smaller than the chickenpox rash, harder in texture, with a red halo around them, less fluid in the blisters, and dot-like or flaky erosions can be seen under the gray-white membrane. After the rash subsides, no scars or pigmentation are left. If there is a secondary infection, the skin damage will often be aggravated. (2) In addition to hand, foot and mouth disease, herpes can also appear on the buttocks and near the anus, and occasionally on the trunk and limbs. After a few days, they dry up and subside. The rash is not itchy and painless. (3) Some children may develop generalized papules and blisters, accompanied by aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, myocarditis, etc. It may be accompanied by cough, runny nose, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, headache and other symptoms. (4) Some cases only present with rash or herpetic pharyngitis. The whole course of the disease is about 5-10 days, and most patients can recover on their own, with a good prognosis and no sequelae. |
