What Ointment for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?

Question

My daughter has some small blisters on her hands and mouth, which might be hand, foot, and mouth disease. What ointment can be used?

Answer

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by the hand, foot, and mouth virus. Simply using ointment for treatment has limited effectiveness and should be combined with antiviral therapy, oral Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, as well as Western medicine for anti-inflammatory treatment. If not treated promptly, complications may arise. Ointment can be used as an auxiliary treatment method.
