Question
A child with fever, cough, asthma, and hand, foot, and mouth complications was treated in the intensive care unit of Taiyuan Children’s Hospital. The inquiry was about the treatment methods and recovery status.
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease may be caused by viral infection, often accompanied by symptoms such as coughing and fever, which may require antiviral medications such as ganciclovir for treatment, combined with antibiotics to control infection. When experiencing oral pain, you can rinse with saline solution or clean the mouth. For fever, you can take Chai Gui Heat-Relieving Oral Liquid and undergo nebulizer inhalation therapy. You can also take Pulmonary Power Cough medicine to treat cough.
