Question
What medicine should be taken for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease should seek medical attention promptly, allowing the doctor to assess the condition and provide appropriate treatment. Treatment may include oral or intravenous antiviral medications, as well as supportive therapy to alleviate symptoms. In cases with mild symptoms, patients may only need oral medication and adequate rest. In severe cases or when complications occur, hospitalization for further treatment may be required. Additionally, patients should be isolated to prevent the virus from spreading to others.
