Patient's question:
Recently, my child has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. It's very concerning to see them like this. I would like to consult here about the treatment plan for hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should I pay attention to in daily life and diet? I hope the doctor can respond to me as soon as possible, so they can help me and relieve my child from suffering. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease, the treatment is primarily based on antiviral therapy. It can involve systemic antiviral treatment for the child, combined with local antiviral treatment. Systemic antiviral treatment can be administered orally or through intravenous infusion of antiviral medications. For local antiviral treatment, antiviral creams can be used on the hands and feet, while antiviral sprays can be used in the mouth. Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease are advised to follow a light diet as the foundation, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, which helps in the complete recovery from the disease.
