When a child contracts hand, foot, and mouth disease, the primary treatment involves antiviral therapy, including oral or intravenous administration of antiviral medications, as well as regional application of antiviral ointments and sprays. If the child has a fever, it is important to measure their temperature; if the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered.
Patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease can take antiviral medications, and if they have a fever, they can use some traditional Chinese medicine to clear heat and detoxify. Symptomatic treatment should be carried out in a timely manner.
