How to treat mild hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling unwell all over recently. How can I treat mild hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is primarily caused by a viral infection. In this case, it typically manifests as blisters on the mouth palate and extremities. Antiviral medications are generally used for treatment. I recommend you use acyclovir tablets and acyclovir ointment for topical application. Approximately one week of treatment is needed. During this period, avoid close contact to prevent mutual infection. Pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
