What precautions should patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease, accompanied by fever and oral ulcers, take?

  2. Antiviral medications such as ribavirin and viraxil can be taken.
  3. Maintain the cleanliness of the oral area to prevent secondary bacterial infections.
  4. Since there are oral ulcers, easy-to-digest liquid foods should be provided, and rinsing with water after meals is recommended.
