Question
A one-and-a-half-year-old baby has hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should it be treated? There are blisters in the mouth, peeling on the body and feet, accompanied by fever.
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection with contagiousness and is prone to recurrence in babies with weaker immunity. When this disease recurs, it is essential to implement isolation, administer antiviral treatments, provide fever reduction care, maintain a light diet, prevent colds and flu, and alleviate the condition. Since hand, foot, and mouth disease can harm the child, parents must take their child for immediate medical treatment to prevent the blind use of medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is crucial to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
