Question

My child frequently gets infected with hand, foot, and mouth disease. How can we effectively treat and prevent recurrence?

Answer

Recurring outbreaks of hand, foot, and mouth disease typically require a thorough examination to confirm if there is frequent contact with patients, and it’s also possible that the child’s immunity is weakened. Treatment should involve timely use of antiviral medications, and after recovery, it’s important to strengthen immunity to prevent further infections. Consider using oral thymic peptide tablets, Yu Ping Feng San, or traditional Chinese medicine like Zhen Qi Fu Zheng Granules.
