Question
This age is a high-risk period for hand, foot, and mouth disease in children, and due to the seasonality, the child has also contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. There are many small blisters in the child’s mouth now, and they are unable to eat dinner. I want to know how to treat my baby’s hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
If your child has been confirmed to have hand, foot, and mouth disease, immediate treatment is necessary. It is important to consistently administer antiviral medication and consider using regional antiviral sprays as well. This period can be very painful, so it’s best to give your child something warm and easy to digest. Additionally, always maintain good oral hygiene. If the child experiences recurrent low fever or dry vomiting, headaches, or other symptoms, it is advisable to take them to the hospital for inpatient treatment promptly.
