Three days ago, I noticed blisters on my daughter’s buttocks, hands, and feet, along with red spots in her mouth. She was diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. I would like to know how to handle the situation?
Answers
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infant and toddler infectious disease caused by enterovirus infection. Treatment can include antiviral drugs such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, or penciclovir, as well as traditional Chinese medicine. Additionally, apply external antibacterial ointments to prevent the blisters from bursting and causing infection. Consider using transfer factors and other medications to boost immunity. Moreover, attention should be paid to hygiene and proper disinfection to prevent secondary infection or cross-infection.
