Question
The patient has blisters on their hands, mouth, and feet, and experienced a fever on May 27, 2013. They are seeking medical advice.
Answer
For patients in the acute stage with low fever or no fever, accompanied by symptoms such as runny nose, cough, sore throat pain, decreased appetite, nausea, etc., the herbal formula “Yin Jiao San” can be used; if there is persistent high fever with dense blisters on the oral cavity, hands, feet, buttocks, and limbs, the herbal formula “Qing Wen Bai Du Yin” can be used; if complications such as persistent high fever, frequent coughing, and shortness of breath occur, the herbal formula “Yi Jiao Xiang Huang Wan He Shen Fu Tang” can be used. During the recovery period of the disease, for children with dry mouth and sore throat, Shashen Mai Dong Decoction can be supplemented with raw rehmannia and lu gen to nourish yin and produce moisture to clear heat and moisten the throat. If blisters appear in the mouth, options such as Shuangxiang Bingpeng Powder or Xilai San can be applied to the affected area; for severe hand and foot blisters, Yiru Jinhuang San or Qingdai San can be mixed with sesame oil and applied to the affected area.
