Question

The patient asks how many blisters on their fingers might indicate hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Answer

Doctors explain that the patient’s condition may be caused by a viral infection and clarify that there is currently no effective treatment. They suggest focusing on systemic supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. They also mention certain antiviral drugs and interferons that may be effective, as well as the potential benefits of traditional Chinese medicine in alleviating symptoms and shortening the duration of the disease.
