How to Treat Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?

Question

My child has been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. How can we help the symptoms improve?

Answer

Based on the parent’s description, it seems that the child’s hand, foot, and mouth disease has entered its second week. It is recommended that parents continue to monitor the child’s lung infection and body temperature, and expect that symptoms will gradually improve within two weeks. In terms of treatment, it is essential to immediately take the child to a regular hospital for a consultation and pay attention to daily care, including dietary adjustments, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, to help the child recover sooner.
