How to Treat Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

Question

I have hand, foot, and mouth disease and have developed many blisters. Is this a sign of improvement or deterioration? Can I keep applying band-aids? If not, what can I do to fully recover?

Answer

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a viral infection that can be treated with antiviral medications. We recommend taking Acyclovir orally or the Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter Antiviral Compound. Apply Ganciclovir Ointment externally; do not scratch. It will heal gradually. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can be very harmful to children. If mothers notice any symptoms in their children, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for a diagnosis. Pay close attention to the child’s care issues; suggest proper diet and avoid cold food. We hope the child can receive effective treatment to aid in recovery!
