Question
The child suddenly developed a fever and was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. The inquiry is whether there are any preventive medications.
Answer
Based on the description, the child has contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended to take the following preventive measures: expose to more sunlight, maintain good ventilation indoors, avoid cold and raw foods, wash hands frequently, and take Platycodon granules under a doctor’s guidance. Since hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a virus, there is currently no specific medicine. Therefore, parents should bring their child to a specialist clinic for follow-up and treatment under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, giving the child some fruit juice can help with digestion and supplement vitamins, preventing diarrhea, and hoping for the child’s early recovery.
