Question

What kind of medication should be used for intravenous treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

If a child has hand, foot, and mouth disease and is not feverish, there is usually no need for intravenous medication. They can drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, pay attention to hand hygiene, wash hands frequently, wash feet regularly, and use saltwater to wash their face. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is usually caused by a viral infection within the body, so it’s recommended to take more antiviral medications or cooling and detoxifying herbs. Encourage active participation in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
