Question
My son is 6 years old, and recently there has been a hand, foot, and mouth disease outbreak at school, and he has also been infected with a mild case. He is currently receiving treatment in the hospital due to it being a contagious disease, and he is in isolation. How many days of shots does a mild case of hand, foot, and mouth disease require?
Answer
Generally, a mild case of hand, foot, and mouth disease will recover in about a week. Treatment can be administered through medication or injections of antiviral agents. It is also important to drink plenty of water, maintain personal hygiene, and eat a diet mainly consisting of light and non-spicy foods. Additionally, it is necessary to supplement with various vitamins, strengthen the body’s constitution, and enhance immunity to aid in recovery.
