Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection. Respiratory infectious diseases may lead to mutual transmission. Always maintain skin cleanliness and hygiene, avoid picking or scratching to prevent infection. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy foods. You can apply calamine lotion and take medications such as ribavirin granules, banlangen granules, and antiviral oral liquid for treatment. Please follow medical advice for specific medication use.
