Question
Recently, my child has been crying constantly. After checking, I found out that my child has hand, foot, and mouth disease. How should I treat it?
Answer
The treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease varies depending on the severity of the symptoms. For mild cases, applying a liquid medicine called “Kangfu Xinluo” to the ulcers in the mouth can help promote healing. Mild cases can also be treated with traditional Chinese medicine that clears heat and detoxifies, as well as relieves throat pain and swelling. If the symptoms are severe, such as persistent fever or frequent convulsions, hospitalization is recommended. Additionally, regular physical activity can help maintain good physical and mental health.
