Question

How to treat hand, foot, and mouth disease in children?

Answer

The symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children generally improve within a week, but complications may also occur. The disease is contagious and requires isolation treatment. Intravenous treatment usually takes about a week, and children should be encouraged to drink plenty of water while taking Pudendu Lan anti-inflammatory oral liquid and Banlangen (Chinese for “Isatis root”) and other medications. Additionally, vitamin C and B2 can be supplemented.
