Question

A 10-year-old male baby has been a bit feverish recently, and there are small red spots on his palms and in his mouth. How should baby hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated?

Answer

As hand, foot, and mouth disease is contagious, isolation treatment should be provided for the baby. In addition to trimming nails to prevent scratching, maintaining good ventilation indoors, and conducting air disinfection is recommended. Pay attention to rest, drink plenty of warm water, keep the mouth clean, and undergo medication treatment. Furthermore, patients should balance their nutrition intake, engage in aerobic exercise to strengthen their bodies, maintain a positive mood, boost immunity, and adopt good living habits to help prevent diseases.
