What should I do if my baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease and has a very sore mouth?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection and can be treated with antiviral drugs such as acyclovir and ribavirin. Monitor your temperature. Mouth pain can be treated with ribavirin spray. For specific treatment, please visit the pediatric department of a hospital for examination and treatment.
