Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an illness caused by enteroviruses, commonly affecting young children. Treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease can include traditional Chinese medicine, with oral medication and topical treatments. Generally, without complications, patients can recover within about a week with a good prognosis. Antiviral medications can also be used. Parents should ensure that the child gargles with warm water, avoid cold or spicy foods, and provide easy-to-digest, light, and soft foods. Prevention methods include isolating the child, strengthening hygiene and health care, maintaining good air circulation in the living space, and keeping the temperature suitable.
