Question
Can a 4-year-old baby take a bath if they have hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
A 4-year-old baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease can take a bath, but they should be gentle to avoid damaging the rash areas. At the same time, active antiviral treatment should be pursued, such as taking oral antiviral liquids and applying calamine lotion to the rash areas. If there is a fever, appropriate cooling measures should be taken.
