Question
When hand, foot, and mouth disease patients develop oral ulcers, what medication should be used for treatment? The patient has no fever, and blood tests and mental state are normal. The hand and foot symptoms have somewhat improved, but there are still issues such as oral pain, drooling, crying at night, and decreased appetite.
Answer
Oral ulcers in hand, foot, and mouth disease patients can be treated with the Xigua Shuang Jiang spray. This medication helps improve the symptoms of oral ulcers. It is also recommended that patients eat a light diet, consume more fluids, and avoid spicy, greasy, and hard-to-digest foods, as well as excessive cold drinks and snacks. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection. Even for mild cases, the current treatment methods are sufficient. Patients should drink plenty of water, rest well, isolate at home for treatment, and the condition usually improves within 7 to 10 days. Additionally, they should avoid crowded public places.
