Can Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Usually Heal on Its Own?

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a disease caused by enterovirus infection, requiring consultation in the infectious diseases or pediatrics department, with symptomatic treatment using oral antiviral medications. Antipyretics should also be taken if there is a fever. Diet should be light and consist mainly of easy-to-digest soft foods, with small, frequent meals. Additionally, be cautious to avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.

Should Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Children Be Hospitalized?

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is transmitted through close contact, and even thorough disinfection within a room cannot completely isolate it. A two-year-old child, even after receiving the EV71 vaccine, may still be susceptible to other types of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. Parents should take their child to a doctor promptly and carefully observe any changes in symptoms to assist in timely treatment.

Treatment Recommendations for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Children

Children with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease should not attend school or participate in group activities until their rash blisters have dried, to prevent the spread of the disease.
