Question
Based on what you’ve mentioned, how should we deal with it?
Answer
Currently, there is no specific treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease; the main approach is symptomatic treatment. If the symptoms are mild, one can rest at home, avoid contact with irritants, and consume plenty of fruits and vegetables while maintaining a light diet. The course of the disease typically lasts for about 7-10 days and usually resolves on its own. If the condition worsens or severe symptoms such as high fever occur, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition, if there are other complications, medical assistance should also be sought. Apart from that, antiviral medications can be taken for treatment. Remember to maintain personal hygiene during treatment, wash hands frequently, keep the indoor air circulating, and prevent transmission.
