My sister's daughter got hand, foot, and mouth disease. The nail beds are ulcerated, there are blisters between her fingers, the skin on her soles is broken, and a lot of saliva is dripping from the corners of her mouth. The child is in so much pain that she can't even eat, and she looks very miserable. The family is very worried. What medicine should be taken for hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease may be caused by viral infections, requiring antiviral treatment. It is best to coordinate with a doctor and choose appropriate medication. During this period, it is important to monitor body temperature and observe specific reactions. Additionally, attention should be paid to maintaining good hygiene for the child and implementing certain preventive measures. A balanced diet should also be maintained, and it is advisable to consume light foods during this time.
