Question
How to treat Zhang San’s oral ulcer and hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
The doctor recommended that Zhang San take oral B vitamins, such as Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, and Vitamin C. For the oral ulcer, apply plum powder, gold mold fish liver oil, or tin powder externally. If the pain is severe, apply lidocaine or benzocaine mixed with borax glycerin to promote the healing of the ulcerated area. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain local cleanliness and avoid secondary bacterial infections. Additionally, if the child is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, treatment should be coordinated with the doctor, including gastrointestinal decompression, and good hygiene habits should be cultivated. Parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
