What should be paid attention to in the early stage of infantile hand-foot-mouth disease?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a self-limiting illness. Without complications, it usually heals within seven days. It can be monitored, and some antiviral medications, such as oral antiviral liquids, can be used.
Nursing care for the child should be strengthened, and good oral hygiene should be maintained. Before and after meals, mouth rinsing with physiological saline or warm water is recommended. Food should consist of liquid or semi-liquid, non-irritating options.
It is also important not to be careless and to dynamically observe the child's condition.
