Question
The weather has been particularly nice lately, so my mom took the baby outside to get some sun. Little did we know that an 8-month-old’s body can be especially fragile? We didn’t expect that just a short play outside would lead to the baby being infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should we treat an 8-month-old baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
I’m glad to assist you with your question: First, make sure the baby drinks plenty of water and administer some antiviral medication for treatment. It’s advisable to keep the baby indoors during this period to avoid cross-infection. Also, maintain a light diet and try to eat more easily digestible foods. Additionally, you can give the baby more fresh fruits and vegetables regularly to boost their immunity.
