How should my child be treated for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is mostly mild in most cases, primarily characterized by fever and rashes or blisters on the hands, feet, mouth, and other areas. Without complications, most children with hand, foot, and mouth disease can recover within a week. The treatment principle is mainly symptomatic management, which can include taking vitamin B, vitamin C, and antiviral medications. Prevention involves paying attention to children's hygiene.
