Question
Is using an inhalant effective for treating hand, foot, and mouth disease in babies?
Answer
Infants with hand, foot, and mouth disease can undergo antiviral treatment and may require intravenous fluids depending on the situation. Typically, if there are no obvious low fevers or complications such as viral pneumonia or viral myocarditis, hand, foot, and mouth disease is often self-limiting and can heal on its own. The number of blisters does not directly correlate with the severity of the condition.
