How to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease in an eight-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

The weather is particularly nice today, so my mom took the child out to sunbathe. Who knew that the baby, who is only eight months old, has a very weak body? I didn't expect that just playing outside would result in an infection with hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should I treat hand, foot, and mouth disease in an eight-month-old baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to help you with your question: First, make sure the baby drinks plenty of water, and then give the baby some antiviral medication for treatment. It's recommended to avoid taking the baby out during this time to prevent cross-infection. Additionally, the diet should be light, and try to eat more easily digestible meals. You can also give the baby more fresh fruits and vegetables regularly, which can help boost the baby's immunity.
