Question

What medication can treat hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Avoid cold or spicy irritating foods; do not give salty food to prevent pain and refusal to eat. Eat easily digestible food, consume light, soft, warm dishes, and drink plenty of warm water. Preventive measures mainly include isolating the sick child, strengthening the health care of infants and young children to reduce the chance of infection. At the same time, pay attention to air circulation in the living environment and maintain an appropriate temperature.
