Question
These days, I’ve been sending my big kid to school, and the teacher said that we should pay more attention to the children, encourage them to wash their hands frequently, and not to eat things randomly. There’s a child who has already been infected and is currently being treated in the hospital, but I don’t know the specific medication. What medication works best for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious contact disease caused by a viral infection. The use of antiviral medications can achieve better effects in the treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain good environmental hygiene, and regularly disinfect to prevent hand, foot, and mouth disease. During outbreaks of hand, foot, and mouth disease, the use of antiviral medications can be preventive.
