Question
Is acupressure effective for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Based on the child’s condition, if hand, foot, and mouth disease recurs, the effect of acupuncture is not particularly significant. Acupuncture primarily has a notable effect on the gastrointestinal tract of infants. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly caused by viral infection and is somewhat related to a decrease in immunity. If this condition recurs, it is recommended to consider timely antiviral treatment. Wishing the patient a swift recovery to health!
