Question
My son is six years old and suddenly feels unwell, has a fever, and has blisters in his mouth. The doctor diagnosed it as hand, foot, and mouth disease. I’m asking about the treatment methods.
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is contagious and may be related to viral infection, requiring isolation treatment. Common treatments include oral antiviral medications, with general recovery expected within 7-10 days. It’s important to stay hydrated and maintain a light diet. In severe cases, hospital observation may be necessary. It’s recommended to strengthen physical exercise, regulate the body and mind, and maintain personal hygiene.
