At 10 years old, how is hand, foot, and mouth disease treated?

Patient's question:

I've been treated at Xianghe Hospital for a couple of days now. Little Bean has white stuff growing on top.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. The main symptoms include mouth pain, low fever, and blisters around the mouth. Generally, it can be cured within a week. It is recommended to isolate the affected child to prevent cross-infection, take good oral protection measures, and wash hands frequently.
There are many triggers for hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is confirmed to have the disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let their children develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
