Patient's question:
My baby has always been very healthy, but recently, hand, foot, and mouth disease has been prevalent in my baby's kindergarten. Unfortunately, my baby has also been infected. Now we are hospitalized for treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease. So I would like to ask the doctor how to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease in its initial stage?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is generally treated with antiviral intravenous therapy in hospitals. In the early stages of hand, foot, and mouth disease, taking many antiviral medications orally is usually sufficient. It is important to pay close attention to personal hygiene. Avoid going to crowded places and public places to prevent infection, as hand, foot, and mouth disease is highly contagious. Under normal circumstances, with active treatment, symptoms will begin to improve within a week. Participate actively in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
