How to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease in babies

Patient's question:

Hello, your baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease, but only rashes, no other symptoms, no fever either. How long will the rashes last? It's the third day now, and the rashes are quite numerous. Is the possibility of complications relatively small? As long as there's no fever, and the baby is in good spirits and eating well, it should be mild, right? Could you please tell me how to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease in babies?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you mentioned above, it is preliminarily considered to be caused by a viral infection. Please pay close attention and monitor carefully. It is recommended to drink more water, eat light and easily digestible foods, and take Ribavirin oral liquid for antiviral treatment appropriately. Also, pay attention to body temperature reduction by wiping with lukewarm water. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children. It is advised that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is possible to provide the child with enough care and attention, pay close attention to their dietary issues, and hope that the child can recover as soon as possible!
