Question
I found a blister on Friday, and there are already many of them today, but I don’t have a fever. Previous treatment and effects: On Saturday, a detailed examination showed that the lungs and blood were fine. I am currently taking Amoxicillin Clavulanate Dispersible Tablets, Ribavirin, traditional Chinese medicine with Isatis root, and I don’t have a fever. My mental state is good, I can eat and sleep well. Do I need to go to the hospital? I’m mainly worried about cross-infection and being afraid to go to the hospital.
Answer
If you don’t have a fever with hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is generally not serious. Taking oral antiviral drugs like Pudendal Blue Antiseptic Oral Solution or Lanqin Oral Solution, along with adequate rest and diet, usually allows for self-healing. If blisters continue to increase or other symptoms appear, it is recommended to seek medical examination to rule out other possible infections. Moreover, although there is no fever, hand, foot, and mouth disease is still contagious. Pay attention to personal hygiene and isolation to prevent transmission to others.
