Question
How to care for infants with hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Following the recurrence of hand, foot, and mouth disease, infants are susceptible to high fever once again. Their immune systems are relatively weak, making them more prone to viral pneumonia, myocarditis, or meningitis. Prolonged high fever may lead to meningitis. In terms of care, it is essential to prevent the bursting of blisters as this may spread the virus. At the same time, it is advisable to actively use antiviral medications for treatment.
