How to Treat Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?

Question

My child has small red spots on their hands, feet, and buttocks, which feel a bit hard when touched. There are also blisters in their mouth. The onset was two days ago. The test results showed that the doctor diagnosed it as Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. There were similar symptoms two years ago, and they recovered after a week of treatment. This time, the doctor prescribed ribavirin granules, pediatric Chuijiao Qingre Granules, and Shipailitong Tablets. How should Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease be treated?

Answer

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a viral infectious disease commonly caused by the type A Coxsackievirus, a type of enterovirus that often occurs in the summer and autumn. The main source of infection is close contact among people, with asymptomatic carriers and carriers as the primary sources of transmission. The main transmission routes are through close contact among people, such as respiratory secretions and saliva spread through airborne droplets or through close contact with vesicular fluid and feces. The main susceptible population is children under 3 years old, with the highest incidence rate. Since there is no specific medication for treatment, the treatment is primarily symptomatic support therapy, hoping for the baby’s early recovery!
