What antibiotics are effective for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

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. Could you please tell me which antibiotic is effective for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection. The specific treatment duration and plan need to be based on the condition. If the condition is severe, it generally requires intravenous treatment for about a week. If the condition is mild, oral medication can be used for treatment. Pay attention to keeping warm and wish you a speedy recovery. If there are no complications, most children with hand, foot, and mouth disease can recover within a week. The main principle of treatment is symptomatic management, and vitamin B, C, and antiviral drugs should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
