Overview

All the patients diagnosed with hand foot mouth disease should be well hydrated and if oral intake is compromised then IV fluid administration must be initiated.

Secondary prevention

Secondary prevention strategies following hand-foot and mouth disease include:[1]

  • If a person has mouth sores, it might be painful to swallow. However, it is important for people with hand, foot, and mouth disease to drink enough liquids to prevent dehydration (loss of body fluids).
  • If a person cannot swallow enough liquids, they may need to receive IV fluids.
