Question
The test for hand, foot, and mouth disease came back positive, but there are no symptoms. The hospital advised me to be hospitalized. How should hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated when the test is positive?
Answer
Based on your description, it seems your child might have hand, foot, and mouth disease with mild symptoms. It is recommended that if your child is not experiencing discomfort, it may be an early stage or mild case of the disease and hospitalization may not be necessary. In this case, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay attention to your child’s diet and care. It is advised to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods to help your child recover quickly.
