  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand,_foot,_and_mouth_disease

  Medications are usually not needed as hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral disease that typically resolves on its own. Currently, there is no specific curative treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease. […] Disease management typically focuses on achieving symptomatic relief. Pain from the sores may be eased with the use of analgesic medications. Fever reducers can help decrease body temperature. […] A minority of individuals with hand, foot, and mouth disease may require hospital admission due to complications such as inflammation of the brain, inflammation of the meninges, or acute flaccid paralysis. Non-neurologic complications such as inflammation of the heart, fluid in the lungs, or bleeding into the lungs may also occur.

  The treatment of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) is supportive. In fact, there is no antiviral agent specific for the etiologic agents. Ensure adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration. Cold liquids are generally preferable. Spicy or acidic substances may cause discomfort. Intravenous hydration may be necessary if the patient has moderate-to-severe dehydration or if discomfort precludes oral intake. Fever may be treated with antipyretics. Pain may be treated with standard doses of acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Direct analgesia may also be applied to the oral cavity via mouthwashes or sprays. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and milrinone have shown some efficacy in a few reports. […] There is a relative dearth of treatment options for enterovirus-associated HFMD cases. Recent research has yielded several promising novel and existing therapeutics targeting specific viral mechanisms of action. These include molecular decoys, receptor antagonists, uncoating and translation inhibitors, polyprotein processing inhibitors, and replication inhibitors. Pleconaril is an uncoating inhibitor that shows promise in enterovirus 71 associated infections. […] Amantadine and quinacrine, both translation inhibitors, and ribavirin, a replication inhibitor, are also being investigated as treatment options.

  HFMD is a mild clinical syndrome and resolves within 7 to 10 days. Treatment is primarily supportive. Pain and fever can be managed with NSAIDs and acetaminophen. Making sure the patient remains well-hydrated is important. Additionally, a mixture of ibuprofen and diphenhydramine can be used to gargle, which helps coat the ulcers, easing the pain. […] Over the past decade, researchers have developed specific treatments to manage enterovirus 71-induced HFMD because of its severe neurological complications. So far, no drug has been approved, but promising novel agents include molecular decoys, translation inhibitors, receptor antagonists, and replication inhibitors. An antiviral agent that has shown promise in treating enterovirus 71 is pleconaril, an anti-picornaviral agent. However, there are currently no licensed antivirals for the treatment of HFMD.

Keep track of urine output: If your child has less than three wet diapers during his waking day or, if toilet trained, goes to the toilet less than three times, call your pediatrician. „Another way to ensure your child is hydrated is to make sure he’s producing wet tears,” Spanier says. „If he’s crying without tears, it’s a sign he may be dehydrated and needs to be seen by a pediatrician ASAP.” […] „Cold or soft foods.” Bring on the ice pops! Foods that are cooling and easy to eat will help soothe a sore throat and painful mouth.

  Use these tips to relieve acute symptoms while your child is sick and to speed up the healing process: Besides antipyretics, you can use wet leg compresses to suppress fever during the infection. Make sure your child drinks enough despite the illness making it painful to swallow. Otherwise there is a real risk of dehydration. If your child is reluctant to eat, try pureed foods, custard, yoghurt or soups, as these soft options are much easier to swallow. Anti-inflammatory zinc-oxide lotions and other ointments and gels containing zinc can help dry out the blisters. Cold chamomile or marigold tea or plant-based lotions (for example, lemon balm, thyme or chamomile) can alleviate oral discomfort. Gently dab a honey-soaked cotton swab on the painful blisters in your mouth. This also helps relieve the pain caused by the sores. Ice lollies have a pleasant cooling effect and help prevent dehydration of the oral mucosa. With blisters in the mouth, it is probably best to avoid acidic drinks, such as fruit juice. The acid further irritates the oral mucosa and simply makes the pain worse.
