Is hand, foot, and mouth disease necessarily treated in the hospital?

Patient's question:

There are small spots in the mouth, accompanied by fever for the past two days, but the spirit is still good. The symptoms appeared three days ago, and I have previously had hand, foot, and mouth disease. It was only discovered today that it is hand, foot, and mouth disease. Has it not been treated yet? Do I need to go to the hospital for intravenous infusion?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you provided, the diagnosis is hand, foot, and mouth disease. It must be isolated and cannot be with other children. Advice: Pay attention to dietary adjustment, avoid spicy foods, and do not eat fish, shrimp, meat, etc. You need to assess the severity of the child's condition. If necessary, it is still necessary to take the child to the hospital for examination and treatment according to the doctor's advice. Generally, intravenous infusion or medication can be used for treatment. Intravenous infusion treatment is faster.
