What should I do if I get hand, foot, and mouth disease

Patient's question:

On August 8, 2014, I had red bumps on my hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks, and I couldn't eat or drink.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment plan mainly involves antiviral therapy. If the child does not have symptoms such as fever, poor appetite, or convulsions, hospitalization is generally not necessary. Oral medication can be taken at home. However, the virus this year is very severe, so hospitals are concerned about sudden severe cases, and thus require hospitalization. It is recommended to take oral antiviral medication, along with antibiotics to prevent infection and herbal remedies for clearing heat and detoxifying.
