Question
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease has been present for four days now, with persistent fever and the appearance of blisters in the mouth. Rashes have also appeared on the palms, buttocks, and feet. I am currently taking antipyretic and detoxification medicine. Is the condition severe? Is it possible to develop complications?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, commonly characterized by fever and rashes, blisters, and ulcers on the hands, feet, and mouth. Treatment suggestions include intravenous injections of ribavirin, acyclovir, and Astragalus Injection, along with oral antiviral liquid. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene; before and after meals, you can rinse your mouth with saline solution or warm water. Choose non-irritating foods such as liquids and semi-solid foods.
