Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious illness in infants and young children caused by enterovirus infection. Treatment can involve antiviral medications such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir, and traditional Chinese medicine. Additionally, topical antibacterial ointments can be applied to prevent blisters from rupturing and becoming infected. Transfer factor and other similar medications can also be used appropriately to boost the baby's immune resistance. Pay attention to hygiene, ensure proper disinfection and care, and prevent secondary or cross infections.
