Question
Is it appropriate for a child with mild hand, foot, and mouth disease who is still feverish to take a febrifuge and digestive syrup to alleviate symptoms?
Answer
The main function of the febrifuge and digestive syrup is to clear heat, detoxify, promote digestion, and relieve constipation. It is suitable for children with external attacks of evil factors, accompanied by food retention, leading to common colds characterized by high fever that does not subside, abdominal distension, and poor bowel movements. For children with hand, foot, and mouth disease, taking the febrifuge and digestive syrup is feasible. However, it is recommended that parents first take their child to the hospital for a check-up. Hand, foot, and mouth disease has a significant impact on children’s health. Once symptoms are detected, immediate professional medical assistance should be sought, and attention should be paid to the child’s daily care, such as appropriate diet and avoiding cold and raw foods. This is to ensure effective treatment and promote recovery.
