Question
From December 25 to December 29, 2010, the treatment situation and effectiveness were as follows: Small blisters appeared on the hands, with ulcers in the mouth, refusal to eat, and a low-grade fever. Did the fever subside? Can the condition be cured with medication? Is it appropriate to use medication?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is caused by various enteroviruses, primarily manifesting as blisters on the hands, feet, and in the mouth. Without complications, it usually resolves within seven to ten days. Since it’s a viral infection, antibiotics are not necessary. Oral ribavirin granules and vitamin B5 can be taken, along with plenty of water. For mouth ulcers, ribavirin spray can be used. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
