Question

Just found out I have hand, foot, and mouth disease, it’s not too severe, just a few small blisters in my mouth and a couple on my hands. How should I treat the early stages of hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Based on the information you’ve provided, it appears that your baby’s hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection. I suggest giving your child plenty of antiviral oral liquids and ribavirin granules for treatment. Since children are vulnerable to hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is crucial for family members to take them to a doctor for timely treatment and avoid self-medication to alleviate symptoms. Parents should provide ample care and attention to their children and do their best to help them recover promptly from the illness.
