Question
What are the recovery standards and dietary restrictions for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease should take antiviral medications promptly and are advised to receive intravenous or oral ribavirin, Qingkailing, banlangen, and other medications for treatment. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, antipyretic medication should be taken immediately; otherwise, physical cooling methods should be adopted, and plenty of water should be consumed. Patients need to be isolated for treatment to prevent cross-infection.
