If there is a baby in the family who has hand, foot and mouth disease, many parents want to know what to do if their baby has hand, foot and mouth disease. Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common disease caused by enteroviruses, so what are the symptoms that cause children to appear? Next, I will introduce to you the ** precautions for hand, foot and mouth disease.

First of all, we must know that hand, foot and mouth disease is an infectious disease, so when you find that your child has symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease, you should isolate it as soon as possible, and if the baby has gone to kindergarten, you should ask for leave in time and explain the reason to the school. During the period of hand, foot and mouth disease of the baby, you should avoid playing in crowded places, because at this time the child is relatively weak and easy to be infected with other germs outside. In addition, cross-contamination can be avoided.

At home, parents caring for sick children should also pay attention to personal hygiene, change clothes and wash hands after touching the baby.

The first symptom of HFMD is usually fever, and the normal body temperature of a baby is the same as that of an adult. Therefore, if parents find that their child's body temperature exceeds 38 degrees and cannot be lowered, they must go to the hospital in time to avoid other complications caused by high fever.

If the child has anorexia, parents should check whether there is an oral mucosal rash inside the baby's mouth, these oral mucosal rashes are red, have obvious borders, and will cause pain in the baby after ulceration, so they are reluctant to eat. At this time, parents can give their children more liquid food that is easy to swallow, and if the anorexia situation has not improved, they should go to the hospital in time**.

Finally, the typical symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease in children are that there will be herpes in the three main parts of the hands, feet and mouth, which are the size of mung beans and contain herpes fluid. Therefore, parents should cut the baby's nails short and wear long-sleeved clothes and pants for the child to prevent the baby from scratching the herpes.

The above matters are what babies with hand, foot and mouth disease need to pay attention to, and I hope to bring some help to parents. Generally, children with hand, foot and mouth disease can return to normal in about a week, but if there are other complications, they must seek medical attention in time.

First of all, we must pay attention to the diet, we must eat a light diet, we must not eat too greasy, we must eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as apples, bananas, oranges, oranges, grapefruits, lettuce, greens, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and other foods, and we must also pay attention to the routine of work and rest, do not stay up late. But I think the most important thing is to always wash your child's hands.
