Early Treatment and Prevention of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

Question

How to treat Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease in its early stages?

Answer

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a self-limiting disease caused by viral infection. Mild cases do not require treatment and can recover spontaneously within about a week. Treatment primarily focuses on antiviral measures, with medications such as Antelope Horn Granules or antiviral oral liquids being used. At the same time, attention should be paid to indoor hygiene, regular ventilation, avoiding contact with patients, and constantly monitoring the patient’s body temperature to prevent complications.
