Question
Our baby has recently developed many blisters on their hands and mouth, and they are feeling itchy. What should we do?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an acute infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. Treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic relief and requires vigilance for possible bacterial infections. In some cases, antibiotic treatment may be necessary. Additionally, it is important to wash hands frequently, ensure good ventilation by opening windows, avoid crowded places, maintain a distance from others, drink plenty of water, eat a healthy and mild diet, and avoid spicy foods.
