Is hand, foot, and mouth disease treated?

Patient's question:

The child went to kindergarten but got infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease. We were very sad, but no matter what, first I need to make the child understand the treatment. Doctor, I'd like to ask, how is hand, foot, and mouth disease treated? Is the treatment process painful? I can't bear to see the child suffer.

Doctor's answer:

If the child goes to kindergarten and gets infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease, it will cause blisters to appear on their hands, feet, and around their mouth again. There may also be itching and pain, and they may experience fatigue, fever, loss of appetite. The treatment mainly involves antiviral medications, and it's important to ensure they drink plenty of water. Pay attention to keeping the area around the blisters clean to prevent them from breaking open.
