Question
My child is 2 years old and has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. I want to know if intravenous treatment is necessary?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is typically treatable with oral medication, unless the child exhibits symptoms such as persistent high fever or poor mental state. In such cases, intravenous treatment may be required. It is recommended to follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment and to regularly return for follow-up observations to monitor the condition.
