Doctor's answer:

The best treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease is traditional Chinese medicine. Generally, it involves a combination of oral medication and topical application in the mouth. Patients without complications can be cured within about a week, with a good prognosis. Antiviral drugs can also be used. It is important to have the child rinse their mouth with warm water at regular intervals; avoid eating cold, spicy, or irritating foods.
