Is hand, foot, and mouth disease serious?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your baby gets hand, foot, and mouth disease, you can use antiviral medications such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir, and traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Apply topical antibacterial ointment to prevent blisters from rupturing and becoming infected. Additionally, you can also use medications like transfer factor to boost your baby's immunity. Pay attention to hygiene, practice proper disinfection and care, and prevent secondary or cross infections.
