Question
A few days ago, the child had a fever and took medicine to relieve it. At that time, there were red spots on the palm of the hand, and there were ulcers in the mouth as well. After a day, red spots also appeared on the feet. We went to the Puyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital to see a doctor, who said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease, but they did not have a specialist there.
Answer
From your description, it appears that the child’s condition is due to viral infection leading to hand, foot, and mouth disease, with rashes appearing on the hands, feet, and inside the mouth. Based on your description and treatment situation, it seems that the child’s condition should improve. Meanwhile, it is recommended to monitor the child’s body temperature; as long as there is no fever, there should be no severe adverse effects. Additionally, it is suggested to have the child take oral antiviral liquids, virazole granules, and banlangen (Chinese herb) for antiviral purposes. Applying Watermelon Frost (watermelon frost) to the mouth can also be effective.
