Patient's question:
My baby is 4 years old. Recently, he has been having high fever. Small blisters have also appeared on his hands, feet, and mouth, with surrounding redness. The baby looks completely listless and seems very uncomfortable. The doctor has diagnosed it as hand, foot, and mouth disease, which can be treated with medication. I would like to ask what medicine is most effective for hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets hand, foot, and mouth disease, they can take some antiviral medication, as this disease is primarily viral. If accompanied by fever symptoms, additional fever-reducing medication may also be needed.When a child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, medication is one aspect, but another important aspect is isolating the child and allowing them to rest at home. Avoid taking the child to public places. Frequently open windows at home for ventilation, and maintain a light diet.
