Question

Can Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease be treated with a shot?

Answer

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease cannot be treated with a shot because it involves a viral infection. It requires intravenous treatment for a week to achieve stable control. During this period, it is important to drink plenty of water, pay attention to diet, strictly avoid spicy foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, engage in sufficient physical activity to boost immunity. Recovery can gradually be achieved after two weeks of treatment. There is no specific cure; it is essential to seek treatment at a regular pediatric hospital to avoid delaying the treatment process.
