Question
My son has hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should I pay attention to?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is prone to recurrence, so it’s important to maintain proper diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods and snacks. Keep your child clean and hygienic, paying attention to oral hygiene by brushing teeth regularly. If there is a low-grade fever, fever reduction treatment should be implemented using physical cooling methods. The diet should be light, with a preference for liquid or semi-liquid foods, avoiding high-protein and high-fat foods, and drinking plenty of water. Keep your child’s skin clean and avoid catching a cold.
