Question
Fever of 38 degrees Celsius with convulsions during sleep, and blisters on the hands and feet.
Answer
The patient may be infected with a virus and currently lacks specific medications. Treatment is primarily supportive care and symptomatic treatment. Antiviral drugs such as idoxuridine, adenosine deaminase, and guanosine can be used, as well as interferon and thiazolidinedione. Additionally, certain herbal medicines may help alleviate symptoms and shorten the course of the disease.
