Question
My child is 5 years old and has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. What precautions should I take?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection that is usually not severe. The doctor will prescribe antiviral medication, and parents should ensure that the child does not scratch the blisters and maintain a light diet. If the child has a fever, physical cooling methods can be used. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for treatment promptly and pay attention to dietary health.
