Question
My husband has hand, foot, and mouth disease and it’s been three days now. He doesn’t want to go to the hospital. How should we effectively treat his hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. It’s recommended to drink plenty of water, maintain isolation, eat a light diet, take some antiviral traditional Chinese medicine, keep the skin clean and hygienic, and avoid scratching. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a greater impact on children, so it’s advisable for parents to take their children to a specialist for consultation and treatment under a doctor’s guidance. In daily life, give children enough attention and care, pay more attention to their dietary issues, and hope they can recover quickly!
