Question
A four-year-old child has had hand, foot, and mouth disease for three days, with a fever of about 39 degrees Celsius each day. How should it be treated?
Answer
The child can take Platycodon grandiflorus or antiviral oral liquid. Apply Acyclovir externally to the rash on the hands and feet, and apply Vitamin B2 to oral ulcers. Paracetamol can be taken when the fever is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, and it can be repeated every 46 hours if necessary. Please take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible and pay attention to daily care. It is recommended to have appropriate diet, avoid spicy food, to help the child recover.
