Treatment of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease and Pneumonia Syndrome

Question

A patient is receiving treatment in the critical care unit of Taiyuan Children’s Hospital. The patient exhibits symptoms of fever, cough, asthma, and hand, foot, and mouth disease. The patient has undergone previous treatment with little improvement and is now seeking further treatment advice and recovery information.

Answer

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is typically caused by viral infection, with common symptoms including cough and fever, which may indicate respiratory infection or pneumonia. For treatment, antiviral medications such as Ganciclovir are used. For oral pain, saline mouth rinses can be used to clean the mouth, along with appropriate antipyretics and antibiotic therapy. Additionally, nebulizer inhalation therapy can be administered in conjunction with medications like Pulmo-Cough.
