Question
My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease and has already gone to the hospital for medication. We’ve been applying medicine to their hands and feet for two days and spraying medicine in their mouth for two days. How long will it take for them to improve?
Answer
For hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is recommended to use antiviral oral liquid in combination with ribavirin tablets for treatment. It is essential to pay close attention to hand hygiene. The purulent and pain-relieving effects of the disease can be very harmful to children. If mothers notice any symptoms in their child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for a diagnosis. At the same time, pay more attention to the child’s care issues. It is suggested to have a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. We hope the child can receive professional treatment and recover!
