Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should it be treated? This disease was likely contracted this week. The child has been crying non-stop, and I don't know what to do. Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be cured? Can it be treated with medication? What should I pay attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is not at all; it is predictable, treatable, and preventable. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection with a certain degree of self-healing ability. In rare cases, patients may experience complications and have a more urgent condition. Generally, treatment can be completed within 3 to 5 days. Antiviral medications can be used for symptomatic treatment. It's essential to pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, and the indoor environment should be disinfected and well-ventilated.
