Questions
After one week of hand, foot, and mouth disease, the condition is basically improved with IV therapy. The rashes on my child’s hands have slightly turned black and shrunk. There has been no fever for a week. Previous treatment and its effects: I’ve been on IV medication for a week. Can you recommend any antiviral oral liquids? Is the Ribavirin treatment done through IV therapy? He has already been on IV medication for a week, and there has been significant improvement.
Answers
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is common in children, and the treatment primarily focuses on antiviral therapy. The medication you are using is appropriate, and you may also consider taking antiviral granules orally; there is no need to continue with IV therapy. As long as there is no fever, there should be no major issues, but it is essential to monitor and follow up. Specific recommendations include consulting a dermatologist or pediatrician at a regular hospital for diagnosis and actively treating under a doctor’s guidance. I hope this helps; wishing you good health!
