There's no surefire way to treat HFM disease, but caregivers can treat their child's fever and discomfort with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. As for the blisters? Ask your doctor for the best pain-relieving remedies.
According to WebMD, the virus can stay in a child's body for days or weeks after the symptoms go away, so be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after changing a dirty diaper or wiping a runny nose.
Parents should do everything they can to keep their sick kids home and should inform their child's school or daycare about the condition. If you absolutely have to bring your sick child out in public for any reason, make sure you wipe down every surface he or she touches with disinfectant to prevent the virus from spreading.
Be sure to call your pediatrician if your kid's fever lasts more than three days or if he or she is not drinking fluids.
