Question
What are the treatment methods for hand, foot, and mouth disease? Do you need to use medication?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is typically caused by a weakened immune system and infection with the hand, foot, and mouth virus, with symptoms mainly appearing on the palms, buttocks, and mucous membranes in the mouth. If there is no persistent fever and the symptoms are not severe, oral medication can be taken for treatment, with a generally good prognosis. If there is recurrent fever, medical attention is needed for diagnosis to prevent possible complications such as pneumonia, myocarditis, and meningitis. In addition, pay attention to a light diet, balance nutrition intake, and appropriately supplement vitamins and proteins.
