Question

My baby has been running a fever for the past two days, and after the fever subsided, there are blistery bumps on their hands. I suspect they have hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should I treat this condition?

Answer

Do you have anything in your mouth or throat? Guidance: If so, it’s best to seek hospital treatment for antiviral therapy. Alternatively, you can take Chinese medicine for treatment. Chinese medicine is superior to Western medicine in antiviral treatment. Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease should pay attention to the following points:

  1. Isolate at home and avoid crowded places.
  2. Provide the child with non-irritating, easy-to-digest, or semi-liquid foods.
  3. Ensure plenty of rest, hydration, and monitor their condition closely.
