Question
My child is three years old, and recently, I’ve noticed many small blisters on his hands. He also has a cough and fever. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it’s Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease and prescribed some medication. After taking it for two or three days, there hasn’t been any improvement, so I would like to inquire about the fastest-acting medications for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease.
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a viral infectious disease. When a child has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, it is best to avoid contact with other infants and young children to prevent cross-infection. It is recommended to take some antiviral medications and detoxification drugs. For treatment, make sure to give plenty of cold water and avoid spicy and high-calorie foods. If fever persists, oral antipyretics may be needed to reduce the fever. In such cases, a light diet and consumption of easily digestible soft foods are essential.
