Patient's question:
My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. I want to buy a spray for her to use, so I'd like to ask what types of hand, foot, and mouth disease sprays are available?Doctor's answer:
This disease is not one that can be treated with a spray. It is primarily an illness caused by enterovirus transmission, with EV-71 virus infection being relatively common. Children may experience symptoms such as bumps, blisters, and other rashes on their hands, feet, and mouth, as well as fever. You can take your child to a local reputable hospital to see a pediatrician or infectious disease specialist for follow-up. If the disease is diagnosed, treatment mainly involves antiviral medications and symptomatic treatment.
