Rash on the palms
Answer
For acute stages with low fever or no fever, runny nose, cough, sore throat, or loss of appetite and nausea, the “Yiniao San” formula can be used; for persistent high fever with dense rashes on the mouth, hands, buttocks, and limbs, the “Qingwen Baidu Yin” formula can be used; for complications such as persistent high fever and frequent coughing with shortness of breath, the “Yi Jiao Xiang Huang Wan He Shen Fu Tang” formula can be used. During the recovery period of the disease, for children with dry mouth and throat pain, add raw rehmannia and rhizoma ophiopogonis to the Shashen Maidong Decoction formula to nourish yin and moisten the throat. If a child has blisters in the mouth, apply one of the following to the affected area: Shuangxiu Frost, Bingpeng Powder, or Xilai Powder; for severe hand and foot blisters, apply one of the following mixed with sesame oil: Ruyi Jinhuang San or Qingdai San.
