Question
A patient diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease has been prescribed oral medications by a doctor, including Sibolitong Tablets, Ribavirin Dispersible Tablets, and Shegan Mixture, but has not received any topical ointments. The patient wishes to understand suitable choices for external ointment treatments for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease.
Answer
Based on the patient’s description, the treatment for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease involves not only oral antiviral medications but also maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the affected areas to prevent secondary bacterial infections. It is recommended to apply Aureomycin Fish Liver Oil to the affected areas to alleviate pain and promote the healing of ulcers. If itching symptoms occur, try using Calamine Lotion to apply to the affected areas for relief. Additionally, if fever is present, consider using traditional Chinese medicine for cooling heat and detoxification as an auxiliary treatment.
