Question
A two-year-old girl has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease but has not shown any fever symptoms. In this situation, how should treatment be conducted?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infection caused by a virus, often related to poor personal hygiene habits. Treatment should involve oral antiviral medications under a doctor’s guidance, with the course lasting approximately one to ten days. At the same time, it is important to strengthen the child’s personal hygiene, such as frequent hand washing, avoiding spicy, greasy foods, eating a light diet, and consuming an appropriate amount of vegetables, fruits, and high-protein foods like eggs and milk to promote recovery.
