Question
How do I treat Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease? I’ve been receiving injections for four days now, and my hands, feet, and mouth have mostly healed. My headache has also subsided, but I still have a slight fever around 37.5 degrees Celsius.
Answer
This is Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, primarily characterized by rash outbreaks on the hands, feet, and mouth. Treatment involves the use of antiviral medications, along with appropriate daily care such as frequent hand washing, staying hydrated, maintaining indoor ventilation, and drying clothes and bedding. Fever is a common symptom and can be treated with antipyretic medication. Patients should seek medical attention promptly and receive adequate care and attention.
