Question

The patient has red blisters on their hands, feet, and buttocks, with mild symptoms in the mouth, suspected to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. After being diagnosed by a doctor as having hand, foot, and mouth disease, they have received injection treatment and been prescribed isatis root and granules. Should these two medications be taken?

Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. For the treatment of hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is recommended to undergo intravenous injection treatment, such as using cephalosporin antibiotics. At the same time, oral medications like isatis root, Qingkailing, and ribavirin can be taken as adjunctive therapy. Home isolation treatment should be performed to avoid cross-infection. Isatis root and granules, as adjuvant treatments, can have a certain effect on alleviating symptoms. However, please follow medical instructions to ensure the appropriateness of the treatment plan.
