Hello, I’m glad to provide you with an answer. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a viral infection with a certain degree of self-healing ability, with most patients recovering within 3 to 5 days. It is recommended to use antiviral medications for symptomatic treatment. In daily life, special attention should be paid to personal hygiene and maintaining a disinfected and ventilated indoor environment.
