Question
My child is eight months old and has had a slightly red throat for the past few days. The tip of their tongue has red spots and blisters, and they occasionally cough. Their appetite has slightly decreased. They have already been sprayed with ribavirin and shuangxiangshuang, and have taken cefpodoxime dry suspension for anti-inflammatory purposes. I would like to know if there are any methods to accelerate their recovery.
Answer
Based on the symptoms you’ve described, your child may be suffering from a viral cold. It is recommended to visit a large comprehensive hospital for a check-up to rule out other possible diseases and to receive an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. If there is also a fever, it is not excluded that hand, foot, and mouth disease may be present, and medical attention should be sought promptly.
