Question
Can a child with hand, foot, and mouth disease be bathed with sour sop leaf water?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a pediatric infectious disease caused by a type of enterovirus. Treatment methods may include the use of antiviral drugs such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir, as well as topical antibacterial agents to prevent blisters from bursting and causing infection. Additionally, consider using transfer factors and other medications to boost the child’s immunity. Moreover, pay attention to hygiene and carry out proper disinfection to prevent secondary infections or cross-infections.
