Patient's question:
I didn't expect my child to get this disease. Just a few days ago, after noticing he had a low but persistent fever, I saw some red spots on his hands. The doctor eventually diagnosed it as hand, foot, and mouth disease. I'm very worried about my child's condition, so I wanted to seek help and ask what medicine is best for quick recovery from hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease with low-grade fever that doesn't subside is very serious. If it is not treated promptly, it can lead to meningitis. It is also necessary to be hospitalized for treatment and close observation. The treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease is lengthy, generally requiring about 7-10 days. Isolation treatment is also necessary. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is highly contagious and is related to viral transmission. Antiviral drugs are also required. Generally, oral antiviral drugs are used, and they should be combined with intravenous anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatments for faster recovery.
