A member asked:
Can you guys tell me how best to treat a hand foot & mouth disease infected my 14 yrs old daughter ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Supportive care..: There are no medicines that will shorten the duration of this disease (caused by a virus). Make sure that she does not get dehydrated during this time. Pain relief with Ibuprofen can help. I hope she feels better soon.
