Question
How to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be treated by using topical medications such as calamine lotion, in conjunction with oral antihistamines, vitamins, and antibiotics. In daily life, it’s important to avoid allergens and spicy or alcoholic irritant foods. If the treatment is not effective, allergy testing and desensitization therapy may be necessary. Moreover, attention should be given to gastrointestinal pressure reduction and good hygiene habits, as well as providing children with a reasonable diet to avoid irritating and cold foods.
