Question
A four-and-a-half-year-old child has been diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease but has not shown any symptoms of fever and is in good spirits. However, there is a noticeable increase in rashes on the feet. The doctor has prescribed Lanqin Oral Liquid. Is there a need for additional treatment measures?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is caused by a virus. Generally speaking, if the child is in good spirits and does not have a fever, the condition is not severe and will typically heal naturally within about a week. It is recommended to give the child an appropriate amount of the Chunxiaqi Antiviral Compound and encourage them to drink plenty of water. If necessary, external treatment with calamine lotion can be used. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition changes and provide appropriate care and attention, avoiding the use of any medication not guided by a doctor to ensure that the child receives timely and accurate treatment.
