Should Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Be Treated in a Pediatric Dermatology Clinic?
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.
