#asktheexpert my daughter got hand foot mouth disease.she have so much itching in blister.not able to sleep itself.any oilment that can help?

A. For managing itching and discomfort from hand, foot, and mouth disease, you can apply a topical antihistamine ointment, such as hydrocortisone cream, to the affected areas to help reduce itching and inflammation. Additionally, a soothing lotion like calamine lotion can provide relief from itching and irritation. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help alleviate pain and discomfort, making it easier for her to sleep. Ensure she stays well-hydrated and avoid giving her spicy or acidic foods that may irritate her mouth sores. If her symptoms worsen or do not improve, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
