Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is originally caused by a viral infection, and the virus is a self-limiting illness, typically resolving within about 7 days. However, it is clearly difficult for children to fight off the virus with their resistance, making the disease more severe when it occurs in children. Of course, adults with weaker immunity also find it challenging to recover from this illness.For treatment, antiviral medications and antibiotics are generally recommended. In terms of care, it is advisable to drink plenty of warm water, avoid high fever, and avoid high-protein foods, opting for a light diet instead. Additionally, it is important to frequently clean the mouth to prevent mouth ulcers. If mouth ulcers do occur, applying Yunnan Baiyao can help treat them.
