Question
Can an antiviral oral liquid treat hand, foot, and mouth disease? My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease with blisters in their mouth and on their hands. Can they take antiviral oral liquid? Can antiviral oral liquid be taken at the same time as antiviral chewable tablets?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is almost always caused by viral infection. Therefore, taking an antiviral oral liquid is the correct approach. Besides the chewable tablets, you can also consider giving your child Platycodon root. It is also very effective; take one bag three times a day. Since children are disturbed by hand, foot, and mouth disease, mothers must take their children for timely medical treatment to avoid various misconceptions. It’s important to provide timely symptomatic treatment. For parents, it’s crucial to give their children enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help them recover from the illness promptly.
