Question
The patient has a fever reaching 38.5 degrees Celsius, followed by blisters on the palms and soles of the feet, under the mouth, and on the buttocks. The patient has already received hospital treatment, including medication and intravenous injections. The nurse said that these treatments are of antiviral nature. The patient wants to understand the effective treatment methods and medications for hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses. During treatment, patients should go to the hospital for diagnosis and follow the doctor’s prescription for medication therapy while maintaining bed rest. Options include traditional Chinese medicine such as children’s throat lozenges, Qingkailing oral liquid, and banlangen decoction. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a greater impact on children, so it is recommended that parents bring their children to a specialized hospital for further diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is important to give children adequate care and attention, especially pay attention to their dietary health in order to help them recover as soon as possible.
