Question
Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated with azithromycin?
Answer
Based on the description of the condition, hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. During the treatment period, isolation precautions should be taken to prevent cross-infection. Maintain good indoor air circulation and keep the temperature and humidity appropriate. Drink plenty of water and consume light, easy-to-digest liquid foods. Antiviral medications such as oseltamivir (Oseltamivir) and traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, such as antiviral oral liquid, can be taken for treatment. The course of the disease is about one week, after which recovery is expected. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a serious issue for children. It is recommended that parents take their children to a specialized clinic for follow-up consultations and for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can give your child fruit juice to supplement digestive vitamins and prevent diarrhea, hoping that the child can recover soon!
