I have white blisters on my hands and have been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease by the hospital. Although the symptoms are mild, what are effective treatment methods? Are there potential risks?

  2. Symptomatic Treatment: If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, antipyretic medication such as ibuprofen granules should be administered.
  3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment: Consider combining traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. These suggestions are intended to help patients alleviate the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease and promote recovery. Please follow medical instructions and closely monitor any changes in the condition.
