How to care for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

My baby is 3 years old. Recently, it seems like he got hand, foot, and mouth disease from kindergarten. How should I take care of hand, foot, and mouth disease? I won't let him go to class for now and will take good care of him at home.

Doctor's answer:

If the baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to use isolation therapy because the disease is more contagious. It is generally believed to be caused by enterovirus infection and requires antiviral treatment. At this time, you need to pay attention to feeding foods that are not fried and irritating. You should eat more fruits and vegetables, which are beneficial for recovery. The use of this medication requires the help of a local doctor. For fever therapy, you need to consider using warm water bath treatment. Avoid children eating irritating foods.
