What should be done if a child gets hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease doesn't necessarily require a hospital visit. The main prevention and treatment at home involve opening windows for ventilation, thoroughly cleaning toys that the child with the disease has played with, as well as their own toys, bedding, clothes, and other items using 84 disinfectant. Children must wash their hands with soap before eating each time, and attention must be paid to their hygiene. Avoid taking children out to play to prevent them from infecting others. Urine and feces must also be cleaned with 84 disinfectant.
If your child has a fever, you can use Ruzhiqing (my child took half a pack and the fever stopped—be sure to read the instructions carefully before taking it). If there are small red spots on the hands, feet, or mouth, you can take Amoxicillin or Ribavirin (note that you cannot take the entire tablet—read the instructions carefully).
The main reason to take children to the hospital is for peace of mind. Hospitals are mainly for administering intravenous drips like glucose to boost the child's immunity. Isolate the child to prevent them from infecting others.
Finally, wish your baby good health.
