Patient's question:
Can a 4-year-old with hand, foot, and mouth disease take a bath?Doctor's answer:
If the baby experiences hand, foot, and mouth disease again, it is certainly possible to implement a bath. Maintaining hygiene is very necessary. During the bath, it is essential to be gentle to prevent damaging the rash areas. At the same time, active symptomatic antiviral treatment is required, such as taking antiviral oral liquid and using calamine lotion to apply to the rash areas on the body. If the child has a fever, appropriate measures should be taken to address it.
