My baby who is 9 months old has HFMD. PD prescribed lotion, cream and drop for red spots & ulcers. What should I do now in order for him to recover?

importantly is to hydrate him as many babies will refuse food and water due to the mouth usclers. If possible, ask for an oral gel so you can help to numb the usclers so that baby will be able to drink milk. If baby seem dehydrated and not drinking well, please go to the hospitial instead.

Hydrate and keep hydrating. That's all you can do now. Make sure baby don't scratch or irritate the affected areas as well.
