Question
Two days ago, my child had a high fever. Yesterday, I noticed red spots on their hands and feet. I took them to a local clinic for a check-up, and the doctor said there were no issues with their mouth. However, I was still worried, so I brought them to the First Hospital of Jilin University for a consultation. The doctor diagnosed it as hand, foot, and mouth disease and recommended that we take some ribavirin at home.
Answer
Recurrent oral ulcers may be caused by a deficiency of trace elements and vitamin B. I suggest you take oral zinc gluconate and vitamin B2, and apply vitamin C tablets and pomegranate frost spray or oral ulcer powder topically. Pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene, frequently rinse with a dilute salt solution, maintain a regular lifestyle, ensure adequate sleep; eat a light diet, and avoid spicy, heavy-flavored irritant foods.
