How Can Hand, Foot And Mouth Disease Be Treated?

Hi. My nephew was diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease on Tuesday. Poor oral intake for 2 days. Better today with total of 11 0z in thus far. Has had no urine output for 22 hours. He looks good and is happy and playful. No longer irritable like had been. Also has had 2 large diarrhea stools today. Wondering if an ER visit is necessary yet? Or can we continue to attempt to push fluids on him and have a wait and see???
