Question
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease has been spreading rapidly recently, especially among children. What are effective prevention measures against Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease? Which traditional Chinese herbs have shown significant effects in treating Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease manifests more obvious symptoms in children, and special attention should be paid during treatment. Oral ulcers can make eating difficult for children, so it is advisable to provide easily digestible foods and perform oral cleaning after meals. If fever is present, herbs with heat-clearing and detoxifying properties can be used. Most children develop the disease suddenly, with the first symptom being a high fever, body temperature exceeding 38 degrees Celsius, accompanied by headache, coughing, and runny nose. The higher the body temperature and the longer the duration of the illness, the more severe the condition becomes.
