Patient's question:
Son has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. I wonder how long it will take for hand, foot, and mouth disease to heal? Seeing him like this, I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is relatively common in clinical diagnosis and is closely related to enterovirus infection. Most cases have a self-limiting course, but a small number of children may experience severe complications. Therefore, timely antiviral and detoxifying symptomatic treatments are necessary. On a daily basis, it is important to drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits. If recovery is smooth, the treatment course generally takes about 5-7 days to fully recover.
