What medicine can you give a child with hand foot and mouth disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If fever, you can use acetaminophen for comfort, but most can do well without. Mouth sores are comforted by cold fluids or ice chips. The sores just need to be cleaned and watched. Body sweat makes them itch more and sores can get bacterial infections.
