Question
How should I treat hand, foot, and mouth disease in a two-year-old baby?
Answer
If a two-year-old child is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is recommended to base the treatment on antiviral therapy, using both topical and oral antiviral medications. If the baby has a fever, a fever-reducing medicine should be administered. Given the high contagiousness of hand, foot, and mouth disease, protective measures should be taken during the treatment period.
