Question
I discovered oral herpes last night, and this morning I noticed that my hands and feet also have it. I went to the hospital for a consultation. What are the treatment methods for hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Children with hand, foot, and mouth disease generally have their body temperature return to normal within 2 to 3 days; the skin rashes on the hands and feet usually fade away within 2 to 3 days without leaving scabs; the sores and ulcers in the mouth can last for about a week. Typically, antiviral medications are given to achieve significant results, such as traditional Chinese medicine preparations like Da Qing Ye Oral Liquid, Antiviral Oral Liquid, and Shuang Huang Lian Oral Liquid; Western medicine options include Ribavirin Tablets or Oral Liquid, all of which can be effective treatments.
