Question

How should I deal with hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

If your child has rashes on their hands, feet, and body, it’s likely hand, foot, and mouth disease. This is a viral infectious disease that requires timely antiviral treatment. It is recommended to take your child to a regular hospital for intravenous treatment. Antiviral medications are usually effective. Also, remember to ensure your child drinks plenty of water, maintain good hand hygiene, and wash hands before meals and after using the toilet.
