Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. We've been experiencing a severe flu outbreak recently, and many children have fallen ill. A small number have also contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. I've been very careful about my child's health, but unexpectedly, he still got sick. What should I do about hand, foot, and mouth disease in a two-year-old?Doctor's answer:
A two-year-old baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease is recommended to receive antiviral treatment as the foundation. For the baby who has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is suggested to use topical antiviral medications in conjunction with oral antiviral medications for treatment. If the child has a fever, it is recommended to give them oral fever-reducing medication. Since hand, foot, and mouth disease is highly contagious, it is advisable to take protective measures for the child during the treatment period.
