What should be done if the baby comes into contact with a hand, foot, and mouth disease patient?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if the baby has come into contact with a hand, foot, and mouth disease patient?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in your current situation, you just need to prevent infection. You can apply some gentian violet or tincture of iodine. The diet should be light and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Drink more water and get more sun.
Within a week, if it is confirmed that medication is needed, you can use ribavirin spray for the mouth and acyclovir ointment for external application. Additionally, take Huanghuanglian granules internally for treatment. Pay close attention, and it is best to seek medical treatment at the hospital.
