Question
What medicine can a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease take?
Answer
Based on the information you’ve provided, the condition seems general. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a contagious illness and requires isolation. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume light, easy-to-digest foods. You can appropriately take Ribavirin oral liquid as an antiviral medication and apply Acyclovir for topical application. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children, so it is advisable for family members to take the child to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can give the child some juice to help with digestion and vitamin absorption, prevent stomachaches, and hope the child can recover quickly!
