Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated with immunoglobulin?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated with immunoglobulin?

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a disease caused by a viral infection. The main treatment is symptomatic and supportive care. In more severe cases, immunoglobulin may be required. Immunoglobulins are antibodies that have a therapeutic effect. However, they are generally not needed for mild cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common infectious disease in children caused by enterovirus infection and is unrelated to the common cold.
