Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be cured with topical patches?

Patient's question:

Doctor, what's wrong with me? Can applying ointment help with hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

According to your question, this situation should not be used because hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly caused by viral infection. Generally, many antiviral drugs are used, such as acyclovir tablets and ribavirin granules. It will take about a week to gradually improve. If the symptoms do not decrease, it is necessary to consider postoperative complications. This situation must be treated promptly. Thank you.
