Question
How should hand, foot, and mouth disease in children be handled?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease in children is contagious, so it’s crucial to avoid crowded places. If a child is already in school, they should not attend if they have hand, foot, and mouth disease until it has healed. Generally, if the symptoms are not severe, the condition will naturally improve within 1 to 2 weeks. In cases where severe symptoms lead to a low fever, it’s essential to take antipyretic medication or go to the hospital for symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment. The above can be used as a reference.
