Question
How should children’s hand, foot, and mouth disease be treated?
Answer
The symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children can be treated by taking ribavirin. If there are other symptoms, anti-inflammatory medication or sprays can be used to control the symptoms. It is also important to ensure proper cooling (lowering body temperature) and maintain good personal hygiene. The diet should be light, avoiding greasy and irritating foods, which can aid in the treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease.
