My baby is 4 years old and has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease

Patient's question:

On August 8, 2014, I had red bumps on my hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks, and I couldn't eat or drink.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment plan mainly involves antiviral therapy. If the child does not have symptoms such as fever, poor appetite, or convulsions, hospitalization is generally not required, and oral medication can be taken at home. However, the virus this year is very severe, so the hospital is also concerned about sudden severe cases, and therefore requires hospitalization. It is recommended to take oral antiviral medication while also using antibiotics to prevent infection and adding heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs.
